Where it’s never too late to start a new beginning!
Committed to Our Mission
Empowering Women as Leaders (EWL) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting non-traditional age women, in financial need, to achieve their highest potential through scholarships, mentoring, and networking.
Founded in 2004, EWL provides scholarship assistance to non-traditional college age women who often face challenges with obtaining traditional financial support. We call the women we support - STARs. Our goal is to ignite each STAR's own light and energy and to give them confidence that they can achieve their dreams.
We go the distance with our STARs by also providing them with mentors and networking opportunities during their college years and as they take on leadership roles in their careers.
Celebrating Our Success
Empowering Women as Leaders has sponsored approximately 140 women in re-inventing their lives through scholarships and mentoring. EWL has awarded over $400,000 in scholarships. Due to our strong mentoring and networking programs, our STARs graduate with an average GPA of 3.65 and a graduation rate of 83%, substantially higher than the national average. Please join us in making a difference in women’s lives through donations, sponsorship and mentoring.
The Houston Chapter of EWL launched in January 2022, and we have the privilege of partnering with Texas Woman’s University to provide scholarship and mentoring to our first class of STARS. These women will apply for the program in Spring 2023 in hopes of becoming recipients of scholarship funds and mentoring beginning in Fall 2023.
