Eileen Kraus Scholarship

The Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame awards $5,000 each year to one Connecticut woman beginning her first year of college or university. Selection is based on academic promise, leadership, and a demonstrated commitment to making a difference; applicants typically submit an essay connecting their own goals to the legacy of a CWHF inductee.
