Announcement of Avon Products Foundation's donation of $100,000 over two years to support full-time enrollment by 10 "nontraditional" women transferring from regional community colleges. The funds are earmarked for the Life Impact Scholarship Program of the University's Initiatives for Women. Among the considerations to be taken into account in awarding the scholarships are that the women be 25 or older, have children, have work experience and have great financial need. The first Avon awards were given to Erlyn Amell, Susan Brent, Pauline Bush, Michelle Delgado, Rachel Della Ratta, Veronica Miller, Paula Quierolo, Denise Rubio, and Ann Young.
