Female visionaries, builders, and creators often don’t have the resources they need to bring their ideas to life or to keep pushing forward in their education.

Too often, talent and ambition are limited by access. Financial barriers, gender stereotyping, and racial discrimination can all hinder a student from getting the opportunities they deserve, both in the classroom and in the workplace. As a result, fields continue to lack representation, which furthers the cycle of underrepresented students struggling to find mentors who understand their journeys.

This scholarship aims to further equity in education and the workplace by ensuring that all students are able to pursue their academic and professional goals.

Any female BIPOC undergraduate, or graduate student who is from an underserved community may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they are majoring in STEM or innovation and if they have at least a 3.5 GPA.

To apply, tell us what makes you a visionary, when you have pushed boundaries, and what your vision is for the future.
