THE FACTS: A young woman who graduates from college will earn about 76% more over her lifetime than a woman with only a high school diploma. This education provides her with a head start in her effort to become financially independent today—and in the future.

Our Program

WE Educate® young women seeking to expand their educational pursuits and go to college by providing ten $2,500 Minerva Scholarships. We are also reaching out and encouraging others to join us by starting their own educational empowerment circle to pass on the opportunity to more young women.

 

Our Partners


We partner with our community to create education empowerment circles where women come together to support Minerva Scholarships in their name. Partners include the United Negro College Fund, Hispanic College Fund and Scholarship America.

 

 

 

 

We invite our Minerva scholars, past and present, to become our Women’s Conference Ambassador’s on their campuses, bringing other students to this empowering experience and into our online community.

 

Our Goal

To empower more young women educationally by expanding the number of Minerva Scholarships and expanding the network of support, partnerships and mentoring available to them as they move through the educational process.

How We Measure Success

  • Increasing the number of young women empowered through the Minerva Scholarships
  • Increasing the number of women and Minerva Scholars who share their stories of empowerment on WomensConference.org
  • Increasing the number of women who join us

  • Passing this opportunity on to young women is important-- and it is important for young students to have the opportunity and right to a quality education from the start.

  • This is my fifth time starting college after everyone has passed that I have taken care of. It is a scary walk. I seem to fail more than I succeed, however, I fail knowing that I will retry and win! I could not afford my math book and failed my midterm. I have not given up. I laugh a lot, cry a lot and help to encourage others that it is all in my mind. My mind is made up to travel this road until my breath no longer travels with me. I have encourage many young ladies to go back to high school and complete their tasks. If they need someone to hold their hands, I am here.

  • I am a returning college student after a 19 year absence. I have learning disabilities and the first go around at college, out of high school, did not register at D.S.P.S ( Disabilities Support Programs and Services ) because of the 'stigma ' associated with it. Today, now older, I am a "flag waving", "card carrying", proud member of D.S.P.S and encourage my friends / classmates to register as well. I love tutoring fellow students in Biology ! Never in my life did I EVER think I'd say those words! My attitude about school as COMPLETELY changed and look forward to getting my M.A. in Psychology. I hope my story will encourage all students of ALL ages!! I would LOVE to attend the Women's Conference. Its important to support and encourage one another!

  • Part of the problem is our education system and the lack of true education for real problem solving. We have removed logic, and rhetoric and have trained our children to recite information.

    During the conference they talked about changing a sliver, I am still looking for the sliver that will make the biggest impact.

  • Only 1% of emancipated foster youth finish college, less than 10% attempt to go to college. At the age of 18 foster youth are on their own and 40% end up homeless. Help Orange County foster youth achieve their full potential. Contact Kathy Tillotson katillotson@gmail.com to see how you can help.

  • I am very interested in learning more about this Conference. I have developed seminars on Character Development and Leadership along with one on Future Leadership.
    Both seminars represent areas of growth for adults and for young people to create a world where we are helping ourselves in order to help others. Visit www.graablife.com for more information.
