Join us for the third annual regional event for high school girls in the Triangle who are high-achieving in the STEM fields – Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math hosted by the Enterprising Women Foundation (EWF) and the Institute of Consumer Money Management (ICMM) with support from the NC State Math Department—STEM Education Department Research Team.
We are inviting every high school in Wake County to send a delegation of young women to participate in this exciting event. The program will feature financial literacy training presented by ICMM, a panel discussion with outstanding women leaders in STEM—including many of our community’s top STEM-based entrepreneurs—and small group mentoring sessions, with one adult mentor guiding each table of 10 students.
In addition, participants will enjoy lunch
and invaluable networking opportunities designed to inspire them to dream big and equip them with the tools they need to pursue their goals.

Your Donation to the Young Enterprising Women Mentoring Program Will Change a Life!
The Enterprising Women Foundation hosts young women as scholarship recipients to attend the Enterprising Women of the Year Awards Celebration & Conference. This delegation of outstanding young women will travel across the U.S. to receive leadership training and mentorship. Each will travel with a parent or guardian since most students are under age 18.
Local fundraising is taking place in many cities, but your donation to our national program helps support this important initiative. Consider making a $2,500 donation to support a scholarship for one young woman to attend the conference with all expenses paid for her and her guardian. This is a once in a lifetime, life-changing opportunity for her. Most of our scholarship recipients are from underserved high schools around the country and many will be the first in their families to attend college.
Please consider making a donation in one of the following amounts or donate whatever you can to support this outstanding program.
