GFWC Woman’s Club of Indio offers two scholarship programs:
- High School Scholarship. The purpose of this scholarship is to provide educational assistance to deserving Indio High School seniors as they embark on attending college or university.
- Empowering Women through Education Scholarship. In 2008, GFWC Woman’s Club of Indio established the Empowering Women through Education Scholarship program. This scholarship is an award to help a mature woman with her educational and/or vocational training when entering or reentering the workforce for the financial security of her family.
The General Federation of Women's Clubs also offers a scholarship for survivors of abuse:
- GFWC Success for Survivors Scholarship. This scholarship was created in 2012 to lend a helping hand to those impacted by intimate partner violence who are pursuing higher education.
