An Investment In Your Future
Through the Orange County Federation of Republican Women
In recent times, increasing numbers of women have entered the job market either by choice or necessity. Many of them often require additional skills in order to qualify for a position of employment. Pat Nixon, for whom the scholarship is named, understood this scholarship, as she supported herself while working her way through the University of Southern California. She enthusiastically supported "this unique program to assist young women to receive the necessary educational background to enter the job market at a level for which they will be qualified." The Orange County Federation of Republican Women is extremely proud to offer this scholarship which meets the needs of our times. Women have found opportunity in virtually every field of endeavor today. The Federation is proud to support women in attaining their goals and aspiration. The members of the Orange County Federation of Republican Women are proud that the scholarship bears the name of Pat Nixon. She is admired for her strength and courage. We believe this scholarship is a tribute to her by demonstrating our confidence in the future of American women.
