The Somali Women’s Scholarship Program (SWSP) was created with the knowledge that every Somali woman has the potential to make substantial contributions to the development of Somalia. We aim to supportand encourage the development of leadership qualities by providing full university scholarships to women who are passionate about creating positive, sustainable change in their communities. We ask each applicant to share with us in an essay their grandest vision for the future of Somalia and how, with the education we will fund for her, she will contribute to improving her community and empower other women. To read about a few of our 2010 Inspiring Women click here… With no central government to fund education the SWSP works with private universities across Somalia, all of which operate with a mandate of gender equality.  Full university tuition and fees are funded by the SWSP.

In addition, the women are provided with a living allowance which allows them to focus on their studies without the burden of poverty.  Education is a tool to create sustainable change in Somalia, a means for women to transform themselves and their communities.

It paves the way for a generation of female leaders to hope, dream and take their rightful role in the development of their country.
