What We Offer

Each scholarship covers:

  • Tuition fees for the final year of study
  • Access to mentorship and development opportunities

We prioritise applicants who can demonstrate both financial need and the resilience they have shown in dealing with challenges such as displacement, economic hardship, early caregiving responsibilities, cultural expectations, and other structural challenges. There is no age restriction, because we recognise that women often follow nonlinear paths shaped by the realities of survival and care.
