Welcome to that special time of the summer, where we get to introduce you to a new class of very-deserving 1,000 Dreams Scholarship Fund recipients.

Just like every year, we are so inspired by these 2024 winners who have so many diverse dreams for college and beyond. 

As our flagship scholarship program, the 1,000 Dreams Scholarship Fund provides 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 group of students will be attending schools from across the country — and they represent a variety of backgrounds and career goals. They are just as passionate about their dreams as they are about making a difference in their communities and beyond.

Please meet our winners — and check out the esteemed colleges they’re planning to attend!

• Regina A. – University of Michigan – Dearborn
• Bosede A. – Utah State University
• Marissa J. – Indiana University
• Eyimofe A. – Mississippi Valley State University
• Beryl D. – Stanford University
• Ashley C. – University of California Los Angeles (UCLA)
• Karen B. – The University of Chicago
• Olga D. – Portland State University
• Adriana A. – University of Delaware
• Victeka H. – Chamberlain University

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 to our winners!
