WOMEN IN CALIFORNIA LEADERSHIP ANNOUNCES 2021
RECIPIENTS OF THE MINERVA SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
RECIPIENTS OF THE MINERVA SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Minerva Scholarship program was established by Women in California Leadership to support the advancement of women in the State of California. Launched in 2015, the foundation was established with the purpose of empowering women and enhancing the lives of women and girls. To this end, the foundation is committed to providing scholarships to select women of promise in order to help them achieve their educational objectives.
“For many women, a scholarship is what will determine whether they enroll or continue their college degrees. The COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated the financial burdens families are facing, leaving students to make the tough decision to continue their education or drop out to work in order to help their families pay the bills. I am honored to be a part of this scholarship opportunity which will help pave a path for female students across California to pursue a higher education.”
Assemblymember Cristina Garcia, Chair
“For many education is the ticket to economic advancement. I’m proud of the women members of the California Legislature for supporting the Minerva Scholarship Program to help women across our state achieve their education goals.”
Senator Nancy Skinner, Vice Chair
