PJWC Scholarship

Each year, PJWC awards a scholarship to select female seniors among the various high schools in PSD202. The scholarship is awarded based on service/volunteerism in our community.

​

The following information was taken from the application: “Plainfield Junior Woman’s Club (PJWC) is a subsidiary of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC).  GFWC is one of the world’s largest and oldest women’s volunteer service organizations and has approximately 8,000 members in the United States.  Members of GFWC support the arts, preserve natural resources, promote education in various sectors, encourage healthy lifestyles, stress civic involvement and work toward world peace and understanding. PJWC was chartered in 2008 and began its commitment to volunteering and service in Plainfield, Illinois and the surrounding communities at that time.
