Business & Entrepreneurship Scholarship

For girls starting something: a business, a nonprofit, a side hustle, a campaign.

For girls who sell, organize, lead, and start things. A bake sale that turned into a business, a club you founded, a resale shop on your phone, or an idea you haven't launched yet.

Past-style uses: starting inventory, a business license or domain, a finance or marketing course, pitch-competition fees, branding and packaging.

Who can apply

  • Identify as a girl or young woman, ages 14–22 on January 31, 2027
  • Live in the United States (citizenship not required)
  • Currently in high school, a GED program, community college, trade school, or the first two years of a four-year college
  • Applicants under 18 need a parent or guardian email

The prompt

Pitch us the venture you're running or want to start. Who are your customers, what have you tested so far, and how exactly would you spend $500 to grow it?
