Mission *

The Women's Leadership
Scholarship (WLS) program (formerly the Native Leadership Scholarship)
creates educational opportunities for women activists, grassroots
leaders, and organizers from the Global South and/or from indigenous
groups. WLS invests in women's leadership by supporting non-doctoral
graduate education in human rights, sustainable development, and public
health in many places around the world.

*Notice to Prospective Applicants*

WLS pre-applications for the 2008-2009 academic year will be available
beginning Jan. 1 through March 14, 2008 on our website or by request from
info@nativeleaders.org. *Letters of interest and pre-applications* *received
prior to January 1 or after March 14, 2008 will not be considered.*

Scholarships

The WLS Selection Committee awards four to eight scholarships per year, up
to US$25,000 per academic year for a maximum of two years. The awards help
the recipients meet the costs of tuition, fees, books, educational supplies,
housing, maintenance, and travel to and from the home country and the
educational institution. WLS awards are paid directly to the institution in
a student's account. For foreign women intending to study at U.S.
universities, WLS funding for expenses other than tuition and books is
subject to a 14% U.S. tax.
