Doris Buffett Independence Scholar Grant

About the Scholarship

The Women’s Independence Scholarship is available to female survivors of intimate partner abuse who demonstrate financial need. Applicants who have been physically separated from their abuser for more than 1 year, but not more than 7 years, and have sought services from a non-profit agency for a minimum of 6 months will be considered. Scholarship recipients will be expected to work towards training or a degree in the U.S. Special consideration will be given to returning WISP students, single mothers with young children, students seeking their first undergraduate degree, or those in a vocational/technical program.
