Applications are open for Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship 2021. Zonta International believes in gender equality, the Jane M. Klausman (JMK) Women in Business Scholarship program helps women pursue undergraduate as well as master’s degrees in business management and overcome gender barriers from the classroom to the boardroom.

The Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship program was established in 1998 from a generous bequest by Jane M. Klausman, a member of the Zonta Club of Syracuse, New York, USA, and the 1990-1995 Zonta International Parliamentarian.
