ALEXANDRIA, Va. - The National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW) has established a student associate membership to reach out to younger Republican women attending undergraduate or graduate colleges or universities. Annual dues are $15. The program connects college women with established Republicans while allowing them to maintain their busy college schedules. Student members have the opportunity to be part of the NFRW, but are not obligated to attend meetings or pay the full membership fee. The mission of the NFRW is to join conservative students with women in local Republican women's clubs. The student associate membership assists college Republican women in finding other females with like-minded ideals and gives conservative women a support system while attending liberal-leaning schools. NFRW President Beverly Davis is proud of the new program. "Student memberships give college Republican women the opportunity to share their conservative values with other women throughout the country," she said. "Our student members represent 100 percent of our future, and we appreciate the contribution they make to our organization." Founded in 1938, the NFRW is one of the largest women's political organizations in the country with 100,000 members and 1,800 local clubs nationwide. The grassroots organization recruits and elects Republican candidates, advocates the Party's philosophy and initiatives, and empowers women in the political process.
