Nicole Reimer became an applicant and the recipient of Chico BPW’s Scholarship in May 2015. With the scholarship came a student membership in NFBPWC. She maintained her student membership then applied for a CA BPW Education Fund non-interest loan and was granted one to help with her finishing law school. As an aside she in 2018 got out of Paradise when a huge fire wiped out the town on November 8, got married, and in early 2019 passed the bar and went into private practice. Then in 2019 she applied for a grant from the BPW Education Fund and was awarded one!  Since then Nicole has been a speaker for her club, Chico BPW, and written an article for the California Woman.
