Show up for your scholarship—and yourself—at the weekly Scholarship Studio. Choose to join online via Zoom or come in person. This is your dedicated time to make progress on whatever matters most to you: writing that article, mapping out your research plan, or even collaging your dream project into being.

Each session begins with a quick check-in to set intentions, followed by focused work time, and ends with a check-out to reflect and set goals for the next week. A friendly facilitator is always on hand for support, scholarship consultations, and the occasional pep talk.

Come for the structure, stay for the snacks. Coffee, tea, and treats are provided to keep you fueled and inspired. No pressure—just progress, snacks, and space for your brilliance to unfold.
