Scholarship Opportunities
What is the Women Leaders Institute Scholarship?
We are offering a limited number of scholarship support to First Nations women leaders with limited access to leadership development opportunities.
This includes those from remote areas, community-based or unfunded organisations, small not-for-profits, or workplaces with little to no professional development funding.
We also strongly encourage applications from First Nations women living with disability or identifying as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
The scholarship covers the full two-day Summit registration, including meals and networking activities.


Who are we looking for?
We are looking for changemakers with:
​
-
Demonstrated leadership potential – we appreciate leadership on any scale
-
Intellectual curiosity and growth mindset – you’re ready to get uncomfortable to advance to the next level of leadership
-
Ambition and drive, but lack access to substantial funding for leadership training
​
Priority will be given to applicants from community and/or small Not For-Profit organisations.
How to apply?
To apply, please ensure you have the following details ready:
​
-
Name, job title and organisation
-
Management level (Early Career, Mid or Senior)
-
