Congratulations to the 2010 Minerva Scholarship Recipients
I am proud to announce the 2010 Minerva Scholarship recipients. This diverse group of women has shown not only a commitment to their education, but proven dedication to their community. Whether volunteering at a domestic violence organization or mentoring high school students or serving as a translator at a legal clinic for immigrants, these women are truly Architects of Change.
WE Educate invests in young women by providing scholarships to enable promising students to expand their educational pursuits. Since 2005, the Conference has awarded 48 Young Minerva Scholarships totaling $350,000.
Through this scholarship program, The Women’s Conference is able to honor women who exemplify the values of The Women’s Conference, continuing our work of empowering women 365 days a year to realize their potential.
