American Women’s Scholarships Bring English Exchange Idea
Mrs. André Rieder explains international scholarships for English women aim to foster mutual learning beyond grades. They seek mature, college-educated applicants, with broader aims than exams, including cultural exchange and strengthening Anglo American ties. The program plans separate boards for science scholarships, with aims for independence and access to arts and drama. The General Federation of Women’s Clubs backs the effort, urging state adoption.
