The Democratic Women’s Club of Charlotte County is accepting scholarship applications until Monday, April 15th. As local parents work to meet the Federal tax filing deadline, a Scholarship bonanza to offset college costs could make Tax Day a little brighter.
Named in honor of the memory of Betty Gissendanner, a long term mentor and champion of Charlotte County students, the Scholarship helps local registered Democrats offset rising college expenses.
