Greenville, OH – The Greenville Business & Professional Women’s Club (BPW) is now accepting applications for scholarships aimed at supporting Darke County Senior High Students.

This program seeks to reduce financial barriers to education while encouraging academic excellence and community involvement. ‘We are proud to invest in these young ladies as they pursue their educational goals and become future leaders in their selected career fields’, said spokesperson Sue Huston.
