It’s that time. We get to announce our 1,000 Dreams Scholarship Fund 2022 scholarship winners — and, just like every year, we are so inspired by this latest group of students who have inspiring dreams for college and beyond.

As our flagship scholarship program, the 1,000 Dreams Scholarship Fund is focused on providing critical funds to help fuel the dreams of talented women in need by supporting extracurricular costs and expenses that often go un-funded.

Each winner receives a $1,000 micro-grant — which can be used for conferences, educational programs related to their field of study, and/or exam and application fees, textbooks, and more!

This talented group of young women are or will be attending schools from across the country — and they represent a variety of backgrounds, career goals, and future dreams. They are passionate about their dreams and about making a difference in their communities and the world.

So, without further ado, say hello to our winners — and check out the esteemed colleges they’re planning to attend!

If you’re curious how we select the winners each year, we rely on the members of our 1DF Student Advisory Board who review each and every application to help make our final funding decision. 

Not only does our student committee consider academic, personal achievements and financial need, but they also focus on the career goals of the applicants and how our funds can help them get one big step closer to it.

From everyone at 1,000 Dreams Fund, a big CONGRATS again to our winners!
