West Windsor, N.J. - Mercer County Community College student Michelle
Robinson of Ewing is the recipient of $1,500 scholarship from the
Philanthropic Educational Organization, known as PEO International.
Established in 1869, the nationwide program supports the advancement
of women through scholarships, grants, awards, loans and stewardship,
motivating them to achieve their highest aspirations.
Robinson's scholarship stems from P.E.O.'s Progress for Continuing
Education Program, which provides need-based grants to women whose
education has been interrupted, and who find it necessary to return
to school to support themselves and/or their families.
