Dear FWA Members,
It’s graduation season, a time to remember the countless young lives touched by FWA’s mentorship programs, scholarships, and educational initiatives. To celebrate our incredible graduates, it is time for our annual Dollars for Scholars fundraising campaign.
FWA’s life-changing programs have given thousands of female scholars the guidance and tools to succeed in the classroom, and our outstanding alumnae are pursuing careers at many top-tier firms.
Last year, with support from the generosity of our donors and sponsors, we:
- Provided guidance, development and networking opportunities through 119 high school and undergraduate mentorships
- Awarded scholarships and financial support for 57 students from our programs
- Supported 24 mentees to attend local leadership conferences for women
- Provided financial training to 250 Baruch graduate school students
- Accepted 67 interns into the FWA’s summer 2024 Wall Street Exchange program for career development
Our initiatives and networking opportunities have indeed prepared our mentees to lead - at work as well as in their community.
In the coming weeks, the profound impact of our educational programs will be highlighted through the dynamic journeys of our stellar graduates.
I hope their stories will also inspire you to make a meaningful gift to help our future scholars.
Remember, when women support women, incredible things can happen.
Thank you for your support,
Annette Stewart
FWA President 2023-2025
