Leader of Tomorrow Scholarship

 

Since 2012, Athena Leadership has proudly awarded the Leader of Tomorrow scholarship to one outstanding young woman+ in the Manitoba community. The scholarship exists to provide educational opportunity, and is heavily focused on recognizing and supporting young women+ who demonstrate leadership ability, more so than academic standing. With many deserving young leaders in need of assistance, Athena Leadership established the Leader of Tomorrow Fund (proudly held and managed through The Winnipeg Foundation) which it has since awarded annually.  

Athena Leadership extends appreciation to all candidates who apply for the scholarship, and recognizes the tremendous and exemplary leadership potential in our community. We are proud of these amazing young leaders who embody our values of empowerment, integrity, and philanthropy every day.
