Not sure if this is the right forum to post this.. please move if there is a better one.

I have no additional information or any ties to the organization, I am simply passing on the information.

Hello,
USOA is a founding member of the Women's Divers Hall of Fame (WDHOF). (Incidentally, Carol Rose is one of the original inductees.) This wonderful organization promoting women as leaders and innovators in the field of diving, WDHOF offers a number of scholarships every year to men and women. Below is the list of scholarships available this year. Please pass along the information to anyone you think may benefit.

Thank you @johndiver999 I will forward to some college girls I know that don’t have jobs yet to pay for all the training they want to get. I wish my son would dive since there is money for guys too.
 
I know this is an older thread but thank you for sharing here! I've now bookmarked this organization's website for their next scholarship cycle and am excited to apply in September.
