Read the stories of some of the scholarship recipients
" During the summer of 2006 I found myself in a shelter with my two year old daughter, $20.00 and a paper bag full of clothes. WHO Women gave me a job and a chance to start a new life. I received WHO Women's first scholarship and hope to get a degree in computer science. I also received a complete computer set up from WHO Women. I now have full time employment and am able to care for myself and daughter. WHO Women also gave me an interest free loan to secure utilities for my apartment. I was also blessed with valuable friendships that I will always treasure."
Heather Catlin - 2006 Recipient
WHO Women would like to say that within 12 months Heather Catlin's accomplishments were substantial. She was promoted to the Corporate Office of Bargain Barn, her employer, for training. Heather told her story at the Motivational Show in Chicago in 2008. Check out the YouTube video below.
"I am a 2007 graduate of Mountain Heritage High School in Burnsville, NC. Receiving a scholarship from WHO Women has meant a great deal to me. I feel that this organization is an asset to Yancey County and to each person that is touched by it. I am honored to receive the scholarship, and I hope in turn to give back to the community, just as this organization has helped me."
Jordan England --2007 Recipient

Melissa Maddox -- 2007 Recipient
"I have had the honor to get such an amazing scholarship. This scholarship is going to help me to continue on to college and hopefully either become a teacher or translator. I thank you so much for giving me the wonderful scholarship and it is such a blessing to know that God still provides for those in need".
Brittany Rodulfo 2008 Recipient
"Receiving your scholarship means more that you can imagine, because it helps me to pursue my chosen career. Every cent that I get goes toward helping me receive the education I want for myself in the field I have wanted for as long as I can remember. I have wanted to become a Pharmacist and your generosity by awarding me this scholarship will help desire to become a reality".
Kayla Elaine Deyton - 2008 Recipient
