The Young Women’s Alliance scholarship program is a key component for the organization to give back to our community. By improving access to post-secondary attainment, we are a part of the systemic change needed to create a more equitable future for young women. We know at YWA that we must be intentional and strategic when it comes to finding future women leaders and breaking down barriers that stand in the way of them pursuing their education goals. The YWA scholarship program is the access that underserved young women need to become future leaders of tomorrow.

The YWA scholarship program offers resources and support to applicants to help completion rates, and in 2022 award 5 $5,000 scholarships. YWA is committed to reaching young women, specifically high school seniors in Del Valle ISD, including: those who identify with the LGBTQIA community; Black, Indigenous, and students of color; first generation students; students with disabilities; and students from low-income families, who are pursuing a post-secondary education at any accredited trade-school program, 2 year associates program, or 4 year college in the United States. Each scholarship will be awarded over the course of two semesters, with the goal of supporting these young women through their entire first year of college.

By partnering with Del Valle ISD, YWA’s scholarship program helps address inequities in the Austin metro area and invests in the future of women leaders of Austin.

Applications are closed for the 2022 scholarship program.
