The Phenomenal Woman Scholarship is more than a scholarship. It is a sisterhood and a safe place for those to discuss challenges they may have during their college journey.

The Phenomenal Woman Scholarship is for the black women that are extraordinary and goes above & beyond to reach their goals as well as live life by the principle of giving up is never an option. It is for women that have fire in their eyes & strive to be the best they can be every day.

This scholarship will help dismantle two barriers that many faces during their college journey. One is a financial barrier and the other is emotional support. The Phenomenal Woman scholarship will distribute a $500 scholarship for the fall and spring semesters to one scholarship recipient and will host monthly virtual sisterhood talks for women that do not have an emotional support system.
