CEW Scholarship Program 2022

How the program works

Scholarships are available to women working in specific sectors and specialties. Our scholarship program runs throughout the year. It is important to review each scholarship’s eligibility criteria to make an informed decision regarding which scholarship(s) are the most suitable.

Applicants are invited to find a course that they can commit to completing within 18 months of being awarded the scholarship and can meet enrolment requirements of their nominated course. They must be able to articulate why they have chosen their course and how it will benefit them in their current and future role as a woman leader.

CEW also offers several scholarships to specific courses up to certain specified values which can be found within the scholarship criteria.

Testimonials

"I encourage all female entrepreneurs to take the time to complement their experience in the field with an executive program, and focus on their self-development and growth. The entrepreneur journey starts with you!"

"Coming out the other side and spending time at Harvard Authentic Leadership taught me – we must try for what seems to be farther away from the grasp. It’s that little step each time that takes you one step closer to the goal. I encourage all of you to think about that little next step – the next step you take can make all the difference. Have the courageous conversation with yourself, build momentum and execute today – it’s all in your reach."
