The arts and sciences are incredibly vital to society — and women must have a seat at the table. That is the mission behind our 1 ,000 Dreams Fund Paliwal Club of 100 STEAM and Music Scholars Funds. 

The Paliwal Club of 100 program, launched in partnership with the Ila and Dinesh Paliwal Foundation, helps to fuel the dreams of up-and-coming women in the arts and sciences. Our future Paliwal Club of 100 grantees aim to set the standard in their respective fields. 

The Ila and Dinesh Paliwal Foundation is dedicated to creating positive social and economic outcomes for worldwide communities and their future leaders. By providing both financial and advisory support to underrepresented populations in science, tech, engineering, arts and math and in music, the foundation promotes innovation across the board.

Since the program’s launch in 2019, over 50 Scholars have been selected for this prestigious honor, providing them with scholarship funding for life-changing opportunities like conference travel, tech devices, music and art equipment, ground-breaking projects, and mentorship from the Paliwal family.

Starting today through November 22, women who are motivated to reach the highest levels in the STEAM and music fields are encouraged to apply to one of two Paliwal Club of 100 programs:

• The Paliwal Club of 100 – STEAM Scholars Fund celebrates driven young women in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math with the intent to help accelerate their progress in school and continued support through their transition into the workforce. 

• The Paliwal Club of 100 – Music Scholars Fund serves the same purpose — to elevate and celebrate young women in music, while providing critical funds to those who are pursuing careers in the music industry. 

We’ll be selecting ten (10) recipients for the STEAM Scholars Fund and five (5) for the Music Scholars Fund in 2024. Each recipient will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship.
