Why Is A Case for Women Sponsoring This Scholarship?

We started A Case for Women in 2015 to disrupt – to help women hurt by the abuses of massive corporate power. Helping women fight for fairness + reclaim their power through the civil court system is our thing. But legal help, however invaluable, isn’t the only way to advocate for women’s rights, nor our only passion. Gender discrimination rears its head in thousands of ways every minute of every day.

Pick one you’re passionate about.

We are stepping up to help elevate women leaders of the future because every example of lopsided institutional American power leads us back to the conclusion that we are “Not Accepting the Status Quo.” We want to help fuel your education so you can keep fighting for a world that values women.

When we step back and take a universal view of sex discrimination throughout history, we see only a smidgeon of progress has been made toward reversing the fundamental cultural clichė that women are “second-class citizens.” It’s going to take a miracle + you could be part of it.
