Scholarships and Grants
The WIB Impact Scholarship
WIB is proud to present the Women In Bio Impact Scholarship! The scholarship was established to advance the educational development of women by encouraging and supporting education in all aspects of life science. These funds (up to $1,000 per recipient) can be applied towards workshops, conferences, courses, seminars, and other similar educational programs.
The scholarship honors WIB co-founders Cynthia W. Hu, Robbie Melton, Anne Mathias, and Elizabeth Grey, who all wanted to provide a forum for women to come together to celebrate and support each other’s successes and created a dynamic and invaluable forum for the local community.
Applications are now closed. For any questions, please reach out to info@womeninbio.org.
