The In Her Name Scholarship is a national program backing women from migrant and multicultural backgrounds who are building careers, businesses, and creative futures. In 2026, five scholars are awarded $10,000, alongside mentorship, networks, and national visibility to accelerate their growth.

Applicant can apply whether he is starting something new or growing something that already exists. The scholarship supports women at different stages of their journey.
