THE WOMEN & WORK
Scholarship
Women & Work is thrilled to help propel women forward into their God-given calling by awarding our third annual scholarship! The Women & Work Scholarship assists women financially as they further their education in the field of study God has called them to.
God loves women and delights in utilizing them in the world through their work for His glory. Our heart is to see them flourish and walk in the fullness of who God is and all He has planned for them!
Education is part of what God uses to form women into His image and is an essential component of their stepping into the calling He has placed on their lives.
We are grateful to the special friend of Women & Work who sponsored this scholarship, and we’re excited to serve women by being a part of their journey. May this scholarship help propel our upcoming recipient into maximum kingdom impact!

- Follow her successes and pray her on through each semester until she graduates

Hear From Our Previous Scholarship Recipients
“The Women and Work Scholarship and Mentorship program has blessed me in countless ways this year. It is a privilege to hear the stories of these determined and wise women on the Women & Work team. Meeting with each of them has helped me discern my gifts and callings and given me more confidence in doing what God wants me to do with my life. We were all created intentionally and uniquely by a loving Father, and I have seen that so clearly reflected in these women and in myself, too!”
