Stephen Bufton Memorial Educational Fund Scholarships

Scholarships from the Stephen Bufton Memorial Educational Fund (SBMEF) are available for women pursuing undergraduate or graduate studies in Business.

Scholarships are awarded in amounts ranging from $2,000 to $10,000. For example, the National President's Scholarship offers $10,000, and the Barbara B Jenkins Memorial Scholarship offers $3,500.

This opportunity is open to women who will be enrolled as undergraduate or graduate students studying Business in the fall. Applicants must meet specific requirements set by the SBMEF Board of Trustees. For a scholarship to be awarded, a minimum of three qualified applicants must complete the application process. Only the first 30 completed applications for each scholarship are forwarded to the Board of Trustees for review. An applicant can receive only one National Scholarship per Award Year, though they may also be awarded an Impact and an ORG scholarship. The National President's Scholarship is specifically for students attending Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, and the Barbara B Jenkins Memorial Scholarship is for institutions within the State of California.

Specific document requirements are not clearly stated beyond being a woman, studying business, and meeting the SBMEF Board's general requirements.

All applications must be completed by May 15, 2026. The specific application steps are not detailed in the provided content, but applications are expected to be submitted via the SBMEF website. Scholarship recipients will be notified by phone.

These are referred to as "National scholarships," which, in the context of the host institutions being in the United States, often implies a focus on citizens or residents of the U.S.
