International for consideration in the selection of the International Jane M. Klausman Scholarships.
Candidates for the International Scholarships may be asked to submit their most recent academic
results for consideration.

circumstances will not be considered. Applications are accepted by fax, mail or email. Email
submissions are preferred. Applications submitted by email must be sent as a PDF.

What is the Application Process?
The Club Evaluation Committee will consider applications and select the Club awardee. Applications
selected by Zonta Clubs are sent to their respective Zonta District Governors. A District Evaluation
Committee selects one applicant per district to submit to Zonta International Headquarters. The Zonta
International Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship Committee selects twelve international
recipients from the district applicants.

How may I use the Scholarship Funds?
1. The scholarship may be used for any expenses that support the achievement of a degree in a
business-related field.
2. For domestic and foreign recipients studying in the United States, scholarship funds used for tuition,
books, fees, supplies or required equipment for the program of study are not considered taxable income.
Withholding taxes may be required on funds used for living expenses or other non-qualified expenses.
