Worthy Women's Scholarship

Helping women reinvent themselves at any stage in life is one of the things we take the most pride in. The ability for women to sell the jewelry they’ve outgrown in a safe, transparent, value-adding way allows for more possibilities and greater control in the process.

We want to take this idea further with our Worthy Women’s Scholarship. In our recent divorce financial study, we learned that 44% of women see divorce as a chance to reinvent themselves. Our goal with this project is to take women even further on their path to reinvention by offering three scholarships. The scholarship, now in its fourth year, is intended for women who have decided to enroll in school to pursue their passions and open up more doors for themselves and others. Over the years, we have helped nine worthy women make their dreams of returning to school a reality and continue to support women as they pursue their academic careers and onward.

The application to the 2019 Worthy Women’s Scholarship is now open to women age 30 or older, who have decided to enroll in school to pursue their passions. Qualified applicants are eligible to win one of three scholarships: $2,500, $1,500 and $1,000 .
