Empowering Women Through Educational Scholarships

Today’s scholarship recipients are tomorrow’s leaders.  VPEN members give back by funding scholarships through the Stephen Bufton Memorial Educational Fund.  Since 1953, the educational fund has awarded more than 17 million dollars in scholarships.   Visit www.sbmef.org  for more information on scholarships for women.
