The 2024 Scholarship Application is now open!

Support Scholarships for Young Women

The FWSF Scholarship Fund provides graduate and undergraduate scholarships to San Francisco Bay Area women pursuing careers in the fields of accounting, finance and/or the financial services industry. Since 1985, our Scholarship Fund has awarded more than $3 million in scholarship grants to Bay Area women. Beyond financial support, FWSF scholarship recipients have the opportunity to be mentored by FWSF members and attend career development and networking events. 

Meet the 2023 Scholarship Recipients

ScholarshipOn Friday, June 2nd, FWSF members and guests gathered at the City Club of San Francisco to meet and congratulate the Financial Women of San Francisco’s 2023 scholarship recipients. Since the scholarship program began more than 37 years ago, FWSF has awarded over $3 million to more than 325 deserving women. 

In addition to the scholarship itself, each winner is paired with a mentor and receives a three-year FWSF membership. FWSF President, Denise Rigli, welcomed everyone and encouraged attendees to be a part of laying the groundwork for the next generation of women finance leaders. Next, the 11 scholarship recipients spoke briefly about their personal journeys, accomplishments, and goals. These women, who have already contributed and overcome so much, have demonstrated great leadership value and a desire to drive change not only in the field of finance but for the communities and causes they champion. We know they will be a powerful force in shaping the future of finance and financial services….and hopefully FWSF!

Meet the 2023 scholarship recipients.
