Scholarships
Ensuring access for all
Women Lead Change is committed to making its events accessible to as many individuals as possible -- and its Scholarship Program exists to help make that happen.
To date, Women Lead Change has awarded nearly 100 scholarships to deserving women and students who are interested in access to leadership resources available through Women Lead Change conferences and events.
Each year, the number of scholarships Women Lead Change is able to award has increased, due in large part to our generous corporate and individual donors who are committed to ensuring that future leaders have access to Women Lead Change resources. In 2017, thanks to corporate and individual donors, Women Lead Change granted $20,000 in grants and scholarships.

“I truly appreciated the opportunity to hear Liz Wiseman speak at the Central Iowa Conference and I am grateful for the scholarship. Not all organizations offer these resources. The conference gave me the inspiration to go back to work and be the best staff person I can be.”
