The Women’s Forum of New York advances women’s leadership by connecting preeminent women of significant achievement in diverse industries to enrich each other’s lives personally and professionally and take active roles in matters of importance to them. The organization focuses on leadership with successful women and its mission is to foster leadership in other women throughout the world through shared talent, experience and influence. Comprised of approximately 450 women representing the highest level of achievement in virtually every business and professional sector from finance to fine arts, membership in the Forum is limited and by invitation only.

The Education Fund of the Women’s Forum of New York is an educational and charitable arm of The Women’s Forum of New York, established under a separate corporate governance as a 501(c)3 tax deductible organization. Since 1987, the Fund has helped mature women pursue educational goals and enhance their capacities to provide productive and supportive service to their communities. The Award recognizes extraordinary and often heroic effort in overcoming adversity and the most daunting of odds in restructuring lives for success.

Grants are awarded to women over the age of 35 who, after suffering great adversity and an interruption in their education, are now pursuing undergraduate college degrees. Students in this population are often single parents, economically disadvantaged and struggling with the rising costs of a college education. Over the past 23 years, over 120 women have been honored by The Education Fund.
