The Connie Passmore Scholarship was established by the Mid-Day Chapter of Business & Professional Women to honor one of its long-time members. Mrs. Passmore, who was a Florida Progress employee, devoted many hours and much effort to advance the ideals and causes of BPW. She served as President of this chapter as well as holding several District and State positions. Her special interest was the Equal Rights Amendment and she carried on a vigorous campaign in support of its passage.

BPW is an alliance of individuals dedicated to improving the professional, personal, economic and educational outlook for women. It is open to all women and men who are actively engaged in business or the professions and share the BPW goals.

The Passmore Scholarship makes awards through the Pinellas County Educational Foundation to graduating high school seniors. Applications are also accepted directly from students who have not been in high school during the current academic year. Several $100-$200 awards are made among this group. Selection is based on need, achievement and the student's goals.

The application deadline is March 1 and all completed forms should be sent to Mid-Day BPW, P. O. Box 1063, St. Petersburg, FL 33731-1063 so it is received by the deadline.
