Why Join WMI for this Campaign?
WMI believes in locally-led, grassroots change. We believe the best way to do this is this to invest in young changemakers.
WMI is on a mission to not only educate young leaders, but to give them the tools and support to transform their communities. Through our scholars’ community work, we have seen that the key to sustainable change is grassroots locally-driven solutions. Through their professional and volunteer work, our scholars served over 172,697 people in the last year.
By sponsoring a scholar you are not only helping educate a young person in need but impacting the future of whole communities.
Through this campaign you also have the option to either designate your gift to a scholar in a field or country of your choice or to one of the following funds:
- Women’s Education Fund: Across the globe, women’s advancement leads to positive outcomes for all, educating women is the single most impactful development investment you can make, benefiting the individuals, their families, communities and country.
- Medical Scholars Fund: There is a discrepancy in access to healthcare around the world, we are committed to changing this with medical professionals making up 45% of our students.
Sponsor a Scholar
For $2,500 you can support a scholar for one year including the cost of tuition, books, academic and leadership support for 1 year.
- Each donor will be matched with a scholar and receive two updates a year on their academic and community service work.
- You will also have the opportunity to name the scholarship in honor or memory of a loved one.

During her term as a Medical Scholar Board leader, Onesai anchored 4 Professional Networking sessions for the WMI Medical Scholar Community.

WMI Scholar, Jeannette Iranzi, volunteered over 200 hours tackling health and environmental issues in Rusizi district, Rwanda, through sustainable tree planting programs. This helped in preventing soil erosion, and protecting the crops planted by members of the local community hence improving the social economic status of the population. We are happy to support scholars like Jeannette to carry out sustainable green projects in their community.
