I heard about this organization in the Mason Magazine in 2022. At the time I was in the process of applying to schools in order to continue my education here in the US. I wanted to finish my undergraduate degree and got connected with a great mentor that was able to talk about career possibilities in the United States. Women Walking West provided me not only with guidance by experienced professionals but also with opportunities to improve myself like the essay contest in their last Gala dinner. On this occasion, I met some of the sponsors and community leaders. After some time I started receiving college offers and decided to go to the George Washington University in DC to study International Affairs with a concentration in Public Health. After this, Women Walking West offered me a very generous scholarship to help me achieve my dreams and continue my studies. I’m forever grateful and would strongly recommend this organization to anyone. I personally admire their mission to help foreign-born women and wish to one day be able to give back all the blessings they offered me. It was definitely a life-changing experience and I want people to recognize the importance of such an organization for our community.

I want to express a heart of gratitude towards this organization, Women Walking West. As an international student, finding funds to further one’s education isn’t easy. I am thankful to have heard of W3 from a dear classmate. I am grateful for their mission of helping international women further their studies. They offered not only a mentor to me as I began a career change in nursing but also scholarship. I am truly grateful!

I am grateful I discovered Women Walking West through Wright State University’s University Center for International Education Newsletter. W3 paired me with a mentor that has been instrumental to my career goals and hold me accountable. W3 also gave me scholarship which will be instrumental for my tuition. I am grateful for the great work they are doing in making life in the west a bit easier for foreign born women.
Thanks,

I would like to express my profound appreciation to women walking west in providing me with such great support for my tuition and career in the US. This is such a great relief receiving this scholarship and equally providing me mentorship in my biomedical engineering career.
This has inspired me to be willing and ready to support others as they equally make their way through their career path as women in STEM. Yes, we can!
THANK YOU WOMEN WALKING WEST!!

I would like to thank Women Walking West for supporting women so we can achieve our goals and actually achieve our dreams. I have received money, from Women Walking West, which will help me complete my studies. I am studying English as a second language at Sinclair College. With good language skills I can achieve goals in the field of psychology again. Thank you very much. I will never forget what W3 did for me.
