Empowering a Billion Women Worldwide (EBW Worldwide) ranks #28 on Inc 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies in America and recently announced it will celebrate by awarding $1,000,000 in one-year scholarships along with its partners to find, educate, train and support 1,000 women of color leaders, entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs for its 2022 programs. This Initiative aims to help stimulate the economy through the power of women’s innovation. The goal is to forge a pathway for women to advance beyond the pandemic.
“Access to opportunity, education and a support system for success is key to breaking the historical biases that have previously held women back from reaching their fullest social, health and economic potential. We are excited to bring this initiative to life with our partners to help stimulate the economy and create jobs post pandemic” says Linda Pringle Evans, Dean of The EBW Business School for Women.
Changing the economy by providing scholarships for women of color
To find the world’s most outstanding women of color, EBW started with a list of over 600 women’s organizations. The EBW selection committee is narrowing its list to the top 100 women’s organizations globally based on the following criteria. The committee chose organizations based on impact, reach, quality and depth of programs, reputation, leadership and brand. For winning organizations, EBW is providing one-year scholarships for 10 of their top members, each worth $1000.00. The EBW Network will highlight the organizations and those 10 leaders from each. The list of 100 will appear in the EBW Top 100 Global Women’s Organizations on November 7, 2021.
“We are so proud to bring to light the world’s top 1,000 women leaders, entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs from the EBW Top 100 Global Women’s Organizations. Our greatest desire is that these women will gain access to new opportunities, know-how and connections. Together, these benefits are structured to help them fast track a new future enabling them to have the tools and support to succeed as leaders, entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs” says Ingrid Vanderveldt, Founder and CEO of EBW Worldwide.
EBW’s educational programming and mentorship school begins in January 2022. If you would like to learn more about partnership or sponsorship opportunities, please contact shirley@ebw2020.com.
