Through our Scholarship Endowment Fund, The Tuckahoe Woman’s Club gives multiple scholarships each spring to qualifying seniors in the Chesterfield, Henrico, and Richmond Public Schools. To qualify, students must demonstrate outstanding academic work, financial need, and strong participation in school activities and community service. Applications are available online on this website (click link below). The application process runs from January 5 - February 25 each year. Our scholarship recipients are notified the last week of March and are introduced to our membership at a Wednesday program towards the end of April. 


Applications and all required components are due to The Tuckahoe Woman’s Club no later than February 25, 2026.

 

The scholarships are supported by 501 (c) (3) tax-deductible donations from members and bequests/memorials in honor of family members and friends.
