Talbots to Award $100,000 to Women Attending College Later in Life

Talbots announced the launch of its 11th annual Talbots Women's Scholarship Fund, a program that annually awards $100,000 in college scholarships to women wanting to attend college later in life.

Sponsored by the Talbots Charitable Foundation, this unique Scholarship Fund has awarded five $10,000 scholarships and fifty $1,000 scholarships each year since its inception in 1997. The Fund was created to fill a void in scholarship programs which are typically awarded to traditional college students. To date, the Fund has awarded one million dollars in college scholarships to over 500 women primarily in their 40's and 50's.


The Talbots Charitable Foundation serves the community through its support of the arts, education, health and civic services. Founded in 1947, Talbots is a leading specialty retailer, cataloger and e-tailer.


Applications for the 2008 Talbots Women's Scholarship can be downloaded online. Eligible applicants must be women currently residing in the United States who earned a high school diploma or GED at least 10 years ago; are currently seeking a degree from an accredited 2- or 4-year college, university or vocational-technical school; and have at least two full-time semesters or 24 credits remaining to complete their undergraduate degree.

The postmark deadline for entries is January 2, 2008, or until 1,000 eligible applications have been received, whichever is earlier. Scholarship recipients will be notified by the end of July 2008.
