Among the current class of scholarship recipients are student parents and primary caregivers, students returning to the classroom after a prolonged interruption, underrepresented students in STEM fields, first-generation students, international students, and those who have overcome significant obstacles to achieve their dream of earning a degree in higher education. CEW+ fellows are engaged in research of importance to women, researching or traveling abroad while completing a health degree, or working to remove barriers impacting advocates and allies striving for social change. These individuals were selected through a highly competitive process as leaders with great potential to make a significant impact in their field.
