Women’s Leadership Scholarships

Women & Leadership Australia (WLA) is currently offering professional development scholarships for emerging and experienced women leaders.

This great opportunity supports women across all sectors and industries through world-class leadership development programs, which are designed to maximise learning outcomes and provide skills and strategies to address real-world challenges.

Now, more than ever, we need women across Australia to step up and lead the way to a brighter future. WLA believes in advancing gender equity, especially in leadership. This consideration is central to creating a more fair and inclusive society for all. Such endeavours are key to addressing the persistent pay gap and ongoing gender inequities. 

The WLA Scholarships aim to nurture the aspirations of women at all stages in their career and provide real-world opportunities through applied leadership development programs. 

Partial scholarships of between $1000 and $5000 are available to support women to undertake one of three leadership development courses. Funding entitlements depend on the programs, which include: 

• Leading Edge (for aspiring and emerging leaders): scholarship of $1,000

• Executive Ready (for mid-level leaders): scholarship of $3,000

• Advanced Leadership Program (for senior and executive women): scholarship of $5,000 

Emerging and aspiring, mid-level and senior women leaders across Australia and in all sectors are eligible to apply. If unsure about the right program, Women & Leadership Australia can help you identify which program best suits your experience and needs. 

Take a step towards a great future with WLA Scholarships!

Expressions of interest are being accepted until 18 June 2021 (unless allocated prior). For more information, visit  Women & Leadership Australia’s website.
