At Shine On our mission is simple: to identify and empower underrepresented young women leaders by providing them with the resources they need to thrive in college and early careers. Through the annual Shine On Scholarship, we’re helping these young women unlock their full potential and become the change-makers our world needs.

Our Core Values

We’re not just funding education; we’re fostering leadership. Our scholars are chosen for their commitment to three core values:

Courage to stand up for what they believe in, even in the face of adversity
Confidence to trust themselves and lead with conviction... and inspire others to follow
Commitment to create positive change and improve the communities and world around them

Shine On Scholarship: Funding Future Leaders

When you donate to the Shine On Giving Circle, you’re not just writing a check—you’re investing in the future of young women who are ready to change the world. Your gift will directly fund scholarships giving them the financial support they need to succeed.

Last Year’s Impact

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we raised $15,000 last year, enabling us to grant scholarships to seven extraordinary young women. These funds covered expenses like the cost of textbooks, allowing recipients to pursue unpaid internships, participate in research projects, and engage in other essential academic endeavors. Meet the scholars!

Our Goal for 2025

This year, we are aiming to raise $25,000 to support ten scholarships in June 2025. These funds are awarded upfront, helping to eliminate financial barriers and giving these young women the freedom to focus on their education and leadership growth. Your contribution will make an immediate, tangible impact, empowering these future leaders to fully embrace their potential.

No gift is too big or too small—every contribution has a lasting impact.
