EWISP - Executive Women International Scholarship Program (for High School Juniors)

For more than a quarter century, EWISP has helped students achieve their educational goals. Recognized by Money Magazine as one of the 12 top scholarship opportunities, the program focuses on the best and brightest students.
Through the sponsorship of their high school, students compete at both chapter and corporate levels. Richmond Chapter competition is completed in March. The Chapter's top finalist is ranked at the corporate level in July.

In 2006 the Richmond Chapter awarded three $2,000 scholarships to high school juniors, payable in July 2007 to the college of their choice.

Through participation in the EWISP process, high school juniors realize the value of planning for their future. They organize their thoughts and set goals for their lives, so that regardless of their placement in the chapter or national competition, they have taken a step toward realizing their dreams.
