Our

Mission

The College Woman’s Club of Westfield was founded in 1917 on the eve of World War I and at the height of the Women’s Suffrage Movement. The club was founded to further the higher education of women and serve the general interests of the community.

About the

CWC

The College Woman’s Club (CWC) was instrumental in forming the Westfield Adult School, Westfield High School College Night, and the town’s bicentennial celebration. CWC members were among the first female representatives on the Westfield Town Council and Board of Education, and currently serve on those and other civic boards. Our primary purpose is the awarding of scholarships to young women from Westfield on the basis of academics, leadership and financial need.
