Virginia Horne Henry Fund accepts applications

The Virginia Horne Henry Fund for Women’s Physical Education provides money for an annual competition in a number of activities related to women’s physical education, activity and movement, including special programs, new course development, research support, visiting scholars/experts and student support.

Awards will be granted on the merits of the project and the close connection to the fundamental principles of Virginia Horne Henry’s work — creating a campus resource dedicated to the pursuit of women’s lifelong learning skills in the areas of physical education. All faculty, staff and student organizations at UW–Madison are eligible to apply for funding. Student organizations should have a faculty or staff advisor submit the proposal on the group’s behalf.

The deadline for completed applications is Feb. 1. For information, contact Ruth Benedict at the School of Education, 262-0543.

This fund also provides for two Wisconsin Distinguished Fellowships in Women’s Physical Education Issues. For information, contact Nancy Nelson at 262-0054.
