While women are becoming more prominent as leaders throughout the world, there are still many barriers that make it difficult for women to feel empowered and obtain proper support in leadership positions.

Leadership takes many forms and can be demonstrated in various ways, whether it’s through leading a student organization, participating in social initiatives, excelling in academic pursuits, or supporting peers in the classroom. By investing in these talented leaders, we can create a more inclusive leadership landscape that benefits from the perspectives and contributions of women in leadership roles. 

This scholarship seeks to recognize and support exceptional female-identifying students who demonstrate leadership skills and are determined to make a difference in the world.

Any female-identifying high school senior, undergraduate, or graduate student who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident may apply for this scholarship.
