PWMC awards two or more scholarships each calendar year. Scholarship amounts vary year to year but average $500-$1000 per awardee.

The Professional Women of McLean County Women’s Professional Advancement Scholarship is fully funded through our annual fundraising activity Casino Night. This scholarship is awarded annually to women pursuing professional and/or career development (i.e. professional certification, licensing, Leadership McLean County, continuing education, etc) or formal education at a local college or university (i.e., Heartland Community College, Illinois State University, Illinois Wesleyan University).

The Virginia Mosbacher Endowed Scholarship at the Illinois Prairie Foundation may be presented annually to women who have met established criteria of community leadership, clarity, and focus on career objectives who are attending a 2-year degree or certificate program at Heartland Community College.
