About the Scholarship

Girl Up is a youth-centered leadership initiative focusing on equity for girls and women in spaces where they are unheard or underrepresented. We believe when girls and women are in positions of influence, they work to create a more just equitable space for everyone.  

Girl Up aims to support its network of youth participants around the world through financial awards, honorariums, and scholarships. Girl Up knows that when you educate a girl, you educate a nation, and we are proud to host the 2023 Scholarship Fund. The 2023 Sports for a Purpose Scholarship Fund is proudly supported by WWE and the 2023 STEM for Social Good Scholarship Fund is proudly supported by Noble Panacea.
