is a wonderful opportunity to meet other women entrepreneurs in Boston
and expand your network, and we hope you or other women in your network
can join us on the 22nd. Our Groups programs are small (capped at 12
women per group), so an application and interview are required, but
first time visitors are invited to visit for free (so long as there is
no industry competition). <br><br>If you are interested in attending this meeting, please email our membership coordinator Danielle at <a href="mailto:danielle@hercorner.org" target="_blank">danielle@hercorner.org</a>.<br><br></span></div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(153,0,0)"><b>13</b></span><font><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="color:rgb(153,0,0)"><b>.

AWIS has created a scholarship fund to help offset the cost of
membership for individuals suffering from hardship. If awarded, a MASS
AWIS Member Scholarship provides financial assistance for qualified
unemployed or underemployed applicants for individuals seeking
Professional, Junior or Student memberships. <b>*Graduate Students/Post-Doctoral Fellows and those in transition are encouraged to apply.*</b> For more information on membership levels, please see the National AWIS website, <a href="http://www.awis.org" target="_blank">www.awis.org</a>. For Student membership information, visit <a href="http://massawis.org/student-membership/" target="_blank">http://massawis.org/student-membership/</a>.<br><br>If
awarded a scholarship, MASS AWIS will supplement 80% of the National
membership and 50% of the Chapter membership. NOTE, both memberships are
required. We will do retrospective reimbursement. So if you qualify,
please apply to the scholarship even if you have already paid your dues
within the past year.<br><br>In addition to a scholarship, awardees will be given <b>“MASS AWIS Bucks” </b>proportional to the membership level. These “bucks” can be used to pay for MASS AWIS events or mentoring circle fees.<br><br>To download the Summer 2015 application, please click <a href="http://mass-awis.org/webapp/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/MASS-AWIS-Scholarship-Form-2015-Summer_with-Bucks.docx" target="_blank">here</a>.<span style="color:rgb(153,0,0)"><b><br></b></span></span></p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(153,0,0)"><b>16.
