I heard about the NeW Essay Contest while searching for scholarship opportunities on a scholarship website. I was enticed to participate because it was very rare that I would see scholarships just for women that had prompts that make you research women’s history.
Why is NeW important?
NeW is important because even in 2019 there are still ways that women are being oppressed and by having programs like NeW, we remain prepared to break new barriers in society.
