Women’s Forum Education Fund

Offered through the Women’s Forum of New York, the Women's Forum Education Fund provides unrestricted grants of $10,000 to extraordinary women age 25 and older who have demonstrated heroic effort in overcoming extreme adversity to pursue their first Associate or Bachelor's degree. Unlike traditional scholarships, this award is given directly to the recipient to use for any needs that loom largest, including tuition, childcare, medical bills, or housing. Candidates must be 25 years old, reside in NYC and attend a two- or four-year institution within the city, be pursuing their first associate or bachelor’s degree, and be in good academic standing.
