Empower Women in Higher Education

 Applicants from around the world (literally!)

We received an overwhelming 111 applications for our first cohort. After a thorough selection process, we are thrilled to announce that we have accepted 30 outstanding Fellows from a diverse range of countries: the UK, USA, Bahrain, Brunei, Cameroon, Canada, India, Ireland, Italy, Kenya, Kuwait, Malaysia, Nepal, Nigeria, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Rwanda, South Africa, Spain, and Zimbabwe. This global representation reflects our deep commitment to supporting a diverse cohort of women from all types of backgrounds. The level of interest we received confirmed there is an urgent need to create support and training networks for women in higher education.

Confirmed speakers

We have secured some wonderful speakers for our event. The Fellowship will kick off on 5 July, with our first speaker Angie Milan taking the stage in August to start us off with personal branding and marketing. We have monthly meetings with topics determined by our panel of experts to help support women in the areas most pressing to them. 

Thinking ahead

We continue to receive daily inquiries and contacts regarding the Fellowship, a testament to the interest in a supportive community of female higher education professionals. It's never too early to start planning ahead.To ensure that no potential Fellows are overlooked, all applicants who were not selected for the first cohort have been offered a place on our waitlist. We will be reviewing the waitlist and reaching out with more information to them later in the year. 

Thank you

Your contributions have been instrumental in enabling us to start building our Fellowship programme. Our mission is to support women to reach their potential and help them to navigate structural obstacles in higher education. We cannot thank you enough for your continued support and belief.
