About Us
Our Mission
As a non-profit organization, we focus on uplifting females by encouraging them to pursue higher education. Specifically, The Women's Empowerment Scholarship seeks to pay special attention to women as they enter into one of many male-dominated career paths, including, but not limited to, finance, law, and engineering. Together, through the Women's Empowerment Scholarship, both men and women can practice the true ideology behind community support. The Women’s Empowerment Scholarship team hopes the fund will propel females into their careers and allow them to shatter any and all glass ceilings and stereotypes.
