Women’s History month is a month-long celebration dating back to 1987. It is a time to honor the past, inform the present, and reflect on the impact that women have made in the world, the path they have paved for women today, and inspire future female leaders all around the globe.
From inspiring leadership potential in women to empowering them through mentorship, engagement, and philanthropy, the women of St. John’s have always made impact. It is through the time, talent and treasure of these leaders that we are able to create a positive influence in the lives of future generations of St. John’s female leaders.
Is there a woman in your life who inspired you to try something new? Who coached you through a challenging time or cheered you on as you broke down barriers? Now is the perfect time to celebrate and honor them.
As you consider how you would like to honor the women of St. John’s and support our future women leaders, here are a few scholarships that you can consider.
