Note: EWI of San Diego oversees and conducts its own ASIST program and develops its own criteria regarding deadlines, limiting areas, schools, and agencies.

Important Update: After careful consideration of our scholarship programs, EWI of San Diego has decided to concentrate solely on the ASIST (Adult Students in Scholastic Transition) scholarship program in 2010, and, as a result, the EWISP (Executive Women International Scholarship Program) for high school juniors has been postponed. We are in the process of evaluating EWISP and may offer it in the future.
