OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES
GPA AND TEST SCORES
The fund believes that GPA and test scores are not an indication of an individuals potential and therefore does not use these scores as a metric for scholarship consideration. We want to know about you! Who are you? Who do you aim to be? How can we support you in achieving your goals?
INTERSECTIONS OF BLACK WOMXNHOOD
As Black womxn, we recognize the intersections and spectrum of Black womxnhood. All qualified applicants will receive fair and equitable consideration. We encourage women from all age demographics , gender expressions, sexual orientations, national origins, abilities, intellectual and developmental stages, and religions to apply.
FAIR CONSIDERATION
The Fund is committed to eliminating barriers that leave Black Womxn vulnerable to disruptions in achieving their goals. The Fund believes that applications should be reviewed by individuals who believe in the success and edification of Black Womxn learners and scholars. The Fund is committed to the fair consideration of all applicants and encourages applicants to share their stories with confidence.
“IF THEY DON’T GIVE YOU A SEAT AT THE TABLE, BRING A FOLDING CHAIR.”
