Our Mission
Our goal is to advance gender equity on and off the mountain.
The Summit Scholarship was originally created by women in order to break down barriers for women in the big mountain realm. Gender equity is at the heart of our mission.
Through the Summit Scholarship…
…we provide funding for women to participate in extraordinary all-women mountaineering expeditions, skill-building trips and stepping stone experiences.

By documenting our scholarship climbs and adventures…
… we tell and amplify the stories of women in the high mountains and remote backcountry to provide powerful role models for all who have an interest in pushing their boundaries in the outdoors.
