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.

The work WMI does is outstanding and amazing always
Today we would like to honor the work of our amazing Global Advisory Board team! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This scholar-led board was created in 2019 and since then has worked to create a more inclusive scholar community through webinars, professional workshops, and the scholar mentorship program, launched in 2024. Thanks to their dedication, 92 scholars are beneficiaries of the Scholar Mentorship Program, which has helped our scholar community cultivate the spirit of giving back to their communities. This is one of the many ways we engage our alumni to ensure we preserve the positive energy of giving back.
Now we want to hear from you! What are the different ways that you serve others?
As a scholar, if you have interacted with any previous/current member of the Global Advisory Board, please give them a shout out in the comments! Current members can be found here: www.wellsmountaininitiative.org/meet-our-team/,
Thanks to all the scholars who are currently serving or served as Global Advisiory Board members for your time, energy, and heart! #WMIImpact #communitydevelopment #alumniengagement #WellsMountainInitiative #scholarshipapplication

I have been trying to apply but I reached a point of uploading schooling grades but it doesn't showing me any progress
Great job. However, I'm trying to apply for your scholarship but it's to create a portal. So can someone help me.
Reviewing applications is always very rewarding and enlightening !
Thank You!
