Patsy Takemoto Mink Education Found. for Low-income Women and Children–education Support Awards

Overview

The Patsy Takemoto Mink Education Foundation established the Education Support Awards to assist low-income women, particularly mothers, in their pursuit of education or training. The foundation was established in 2003 to carry on the legacy of Patsy Mink, the first woman of color elected to the U.S. Congress and a primary author of Title IX. These awards aim to support women who are at least 17 years old, have minor children, and are pursuing their first certificate or degree at an accredited institution.
