WALLACE — There are many reasons why pursuing a college education can be interrupted: family emergencies, financial catastrophes or the joy of bringing a new child into the world, but for women in need to spur on their studies, Philanthropic Education Organization International hopes to be there.
Chapter X of the women's education nonprofit is currently conducting a holiday fundraiser now through Nov.13 to fund scholarships for high school students along with grants and loans which are used for women who have had their education interrupted to return to their studies.
Philanthropic Education Organization International was formed in 1869 to provide women with the means to pursue educational opportunities. The Wallace branch is one of two chapters in the Silver Valley and there are also several neighboring chapters of the international organization in Kootenai County.
