The Zonta Club of Santa Clarita Valley Foundation offers Virginia Wrage Memorial Scholarships to help women 40 or over achieve independence following a life-altering event. 

Scholarships range in amounts necessary to cover part, or all, of a career and technical training or educational degrees. 

Wrage was a dedicated and beloved Zontian, mother and grandmother who faced a family crisis at the age of 50 that resulted in a major career change for her. 

After a rigorous nine months of studying, Wrage fulfilled her childhood dream of becoming a flight attendant for American Airlines. 

Not long after Wrage fulfilled her lifelong dream, she was diagnosed with cancer, according to Zonta officials.

Before Wrage’s death, she helped fun that would assist other mature women through challenges such as those she faced. 

Since its inception in 1995, the Virginia Wrage Memorial Fund has aided women with scholarships of various amounts up to as much as $8,000. 

Each year, the Virginia Wrage Memorial Fund provides scholarships to deserving women who reside in Agua Dulce, Castaic, Stevenson Ranch, Val Verde and Westridge. 

Scholarships are made to applicants facing difficult life changes or life situations, added officials. 

Some may need to return to school at mid-life to support themselves and their children as single mothers. 

Some may be victims of domestic abuse struggling to complete GED or college degrees. 

The members of the Zonta Club of SCV are honored to assist these women in the name of Virginia Wrage.

Applications are available by clicking here and are due by Tuesday, April 2; the documents can be emailed to [email protected] or mailed and postmarked by the due date to Zonta Club on Santa Clarita Valley, 23742 Lyons Avenue. #220117, Newhall, CA, 91322.
