To encourage female students to follow their passion and educational goals, the Business Forum is presenting fantastic scholarship schemes for them. This year, the organization will award five to six scholarships to all deserving women to support their higher education. The primary aim of this program is to supporting and strengthening women in our community. Aspirants who are pursuing higher education in a 4-year, 2-year, adult education extension curriculum or technical or vocational program or online program can participate in these programs.
By providing these scholarships, Business Forum celebrates the women’s impact on our society and motivates them to become what they want to be. These programs will prevent female students from giving up on their educational dreams by providing them required financial support. It is noticed that women have always been unrepresented in some areas in comparison to men. Business Forum understands this fact very well and that is why it is now aiding women in pursuit of their higher education through its scholarship programs.
Business Forum is a comprehensive community of diverse and dynamic mixture of women professionals expanding their network of meaningful connections and making a difference in others’ lives. This organization has been supporting and strengthening the position of women in our society through its philanthropic work, events and social programs etc. This foundation was started in 1988 by Anne Ross and Roz Anderson of Foley & Lardner with the aim of creating a supportive network for women.
