The Talbots Charitable Foundation, established by clothing
retailer Talbots, provides philanthropic support to
nonprofit organizations for civic and cultural activities,
social welfare, and health and education services. The
foundation annually sponsors the Talbots Women's
Scholarship Fund, a $100,000 scholarship program that
awards five $10,000 scholarships and fifty $1,000
scholarships to women seeking a bachelor's or associate's
degree later in life. Since its inception in 1997, the pro-
gram has awarded college scholarships to nearly 280
women ranging in age from their late 20s to their early 60s.

Applicants to the Fund must be women currently residing
in the United States who earned a high school diploma or
GED at least ten years ago; be seeking a degree from an
accredited two- or four-year college, university, or voca-
tional-technical school; and have at least two full-time
semesters or twenty-four credits remaining to complete
their undergraduate degree. The deadline for entries is
March 3, 2003, or until 1,000 applications have been
received.

Applications for the 2003 program will be available in
Talbots U.S. stores and on the company's Web site.
