Noemi volunteers with the German Alpine Club (DAV), co-teaching multi-pitch climbing courses designed specifically for women and gender-diverse climbers alongside her sister. Everything she brings back from the Matterhorn goes directly into those courses. As a master's student, this opportunity wouldn't be financially possible without the scholarship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/989d080d-167d-4255-a06b-ad6d875cbee4/IMG_9599+-+Tiffany+Diep.jpg Blog - Meet the Summit Scholarship Class of 2026 - Tiffany Diep, New Hampshire, USA · she/her Tiffany was raised in a traditional Asian household where girls were expected to be quiet and docile. She found freedom in the mountains — summiting Whitney, Kilimanjaro, and Elbrus before having three daughters. Since then, mountaineering has been on pause. "This is me pushing play again," she wrote in her application, "but as a better version of myself." The Matterhorn isn't just a climb for Tiffany, it's proof to her girls that becoming a mother doesn't mean giving up on your dreams. Tiffany’s reaction to receiving the Summit Scholarship: "I had a flood of emotions — shocked, elated, nervous, excited, doubting myself and extremely proud, all within the span of a few seconds." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/dd1b37a4-49f0-488a-9592-4340bd72e5ea/20250308_120059_Original.jpg+-+tushabe+rhonah.jpeg Blog - Meet the Summit Scholarship Class of 2026 - Rhonah Tushabe, Kampala, Uganda Rhonah started climbing in 2023 during one of the hardest stretches of her life, after losing her mother to a long illness. A friend suggested climbing as a way to cope with grief. On her first day, she struggled through her initial route — and finishing it gave her a sense of focus she hadn't felt in months. She's been rockclimbing ever since. This will be her first time on a big mountain. "I honestly couldn't believe it at first. Just knowing that my application had been read, especially with such huge numbers, meant so much to me." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/82fa565c-cd03-47d7-943e-4f584aeedcde/IMG_1103_Abina.jpeg Blog - Meet the Summit Scholarship Class of 2026 - Abina Arshad, Kansas, USA (from Kashmir) · she/her "I was breaking my first fast of Ramadan when I got the call, and I literally hugged everyone around me saying I am going to the mountains!" Abina grew up in Kashmir — one of the most militarized regions in the world — surrounded by mountains she was never allowed to access. Not because of the terrain, but because of her gender, her religion, and her politics. She's now an international student in the US, funding her own education, and plans to return to Kashmir after her studies to build women-centered outdoor spaces where none existed for her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/6a2045c6-7463-4e96-90ca-eaf19ab8246c/IMG_1460+-+Itzeli+Cruz.jpg Blog - Meet the Summit Scholarship Class of 2026 - Itzeli Cruz-Salinas, South Carolina, USA · she/her Itzeli got the call while touring her dream dental school. "I was trying to look calm and professional, but inside I was absolutely spiraling. Five minutes later at mock interviews, they asked about my hobbies, and I laughed and said, 'Well… I just got this phone call.'" A first-generation Hispanic woman working two jobs through college while serving on two executive boards, Itzeli wrote in her application that her life has often been reduced to survival mode: work, school, obligation, repeat. This retreat is about reclaiming the truth that ambition and joy can coexist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/77d57d3e-bafe-42c1-9ba6-c6e240bcbded/IMG_2977_VIANNE.jpg Blog - Meet the Summit Scholarship Class of 2026 - Vianne Sheikh, Lincoln, Nebraska · she/her This scholarship is more than an opportunity to climb — it's a doorway to a dream Vianne has carried for years despite financial and personal challenges.

The timing couldn't have been better." This scholarship means access. "I wouldn't have had the time, resources, or honestly the courage to take on the Alps on my own. It makes me feel seen and affirmed at a time when that matters deeply." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/b20af96b-f0c0-4c18-bb7e-c07baea4f78c/Screenshot_20260226-103604+-+Brianna+Clark.png Blog - Meet the Summit Scholarship Class of 2026 - Brianna Clark, Garden Grove, California · she/her "When I got the phone call, I was completely overwhelmed in the best way. Hearing them speak so highly of what I had to say made me feel truly seen and valued." Brianna will be interning in Kent, Washington this summer — taking time off to climb Glacier Peak.

She works with local youth, outdoor educators, and women new to the outdoors — and discovered the Glacier Peak climb while searching for a female-led mountaineering course. She intends for everything that she learns on Glacier Peak to go home with her. "This is VERY exciting and unexpected news!

Her earliest memories are of watching Planet Earth with her mom, tracing birds across the sky. That curiosity led her to science — and to the outdoors, where she once was harassed on a trail for wearing a hijab. She wrote that she wished for the quiet reassurance of other women around her, of not being alone. On Mt. Baker, she won't be. "When I realized I wasn't being interviewed but was being offered a spot, I was first in shock, then tremendously grateful and giddy that I was chosen to climb with other young girls like me." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/bef7d63e-9a06-4ff3-9969-b683e0cb5d8a/IMG_4888+-+Abigail+Brito.jpg Blog - Meet the Summit Scholarship Class of 2026 - Abi Brito Del Valle, South Burlington, Vermont Abi says: "I love the outdoors, but more often than not, going on excursions like these feels super unaccessible since the cost of travel and gear definitely adds up." Abi is ready. "What better way to get to know complete strangers than by going on a 3-day trip and summiting a mountain together!" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/fa04837d-8ed9-4c33-bdca-72d0b4e8e7af/IMG_8833+-+Mary+Le.jpg Blog - Meet the Summit Scholarship Class of 2026 - Mary Le, Portland, Oregon "I was stunned and deeply grateful. It felt like a powerful reminder that my voice and my path in the mountains truly belong here." This scholarship gives Mary access to real alpine training and an all-women mountaineering community. "It's an investment in my foundation as a climber, and in showing other first-generation and Southeast Asian women that we belong in big mountain environments too." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/389ebadb-a4fc-4588-9e5b-3578cb79646c/Patagonia-251+-+Natalia+Chanes+%281%29.jpg Blog - Meet the Summit Scholarship Class of 2026 - Natalia Fernandez Chanes, Mexico "When I received a call from the United States, I honestly thought it might be a scam. My sister was standing next to me with no idea what was going on and kept asking, 'What's happening? What did you win?'" This grant is a huge step forward for Natalia's growth as both a cinematographer and a mountaineer. "Opportunities like this simply don't exist in Mexico. Being part of an all-women expedition makes it even more meaningful and empowering." https://www.summitscholarship.org/blog/behind-the-scenes-of-the-summit-scholarship monthly 0.5 2025-12-18 https://www.summitscholarship.org/blog/adventures-through-the-lens-the-summit-scholarship-through-the-storytellers-perspective monthly 0.5 2025-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/a3dc6b94-282f-45ea-932b-a5bb1452df7e/untitled-.jpg Blog -

Introducing the Summit Scholarship Class of 2025 - Raihana Ahmady, 26 ‘Every ascent is a rebellion against women’s oppression, the silent cries of millions of Afghan girls I have left back home. It stands as a testament to their resilience and a promise that their voices will rise. Growing up in a male-dominated country like Afghanistan, gender equity has always been a deeply personal issue for me. From a young age, I was taught that women had limited career paths and were expected to follow strict societal roles. When I moved to the U.S., one of the first things I noticed was the difference in mindset regarding gender equality. At first, I was hesitant to do things that had been forbidden for women in Afghanistan. I felt a deep sense of fear and uncertainty as if I was breaking unspoken rules. But over time, I realized that here, women are encouraged to challenge themselves, pursue their passions, and step into spaces that were once closed off to them. As a woman climber, this realization has been life-changing. Climbing is more than just a sport for me—it is a symbol of freedom and resilience. It has taught me that I am strong, capable, and deserving of the same opportunities as anyone else. Raihana (@raihana_ahmady, she/her) will participate in a She Moves Mountains Climbing Retreat in the Red River Gorge this October. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/6311503a-b70b-4170-b6fc-2b02666cb0d8/casual+1+-+Alli+Finn.JPG Blog - Introducing the Summit Scholarship Class of 2025 - Alli Finn, 34 ‘Through hiking, rock climbing, and backpacking, I learned to live in and trust my body again, not just manage it—and subsequently to live more fully as myself, including as a queer person. Gender justice has long been core to my work and life. I’ve spent 15 years working against gendered violence—counseling sexual assault survivors, running deportation defense at a women migrant domestic workers’ center, fighting for queer/trans liberation, and advocating against ICE policing and surveillance. This indoor and outdoor gender equity work is intrinsically connected—shifting our communities to be in right relationship with each other and the earth. As an AFAB, queer, and invisibly disabled person, outdoor spaces were not welcoming to me growing up. When I started hiking in my 20s, through friends who shared skills and community, the world opened. I experienced how much we need values-driven, women-led and gender-diverse spaces to develop self-worth, strength, and creativity, on and off the mountain.’ Alli (@alli.fnn, they/them) will join AWExpeditions on a high altitude mountaineering adventure in Peru this July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/27e6f9bc-a438-44ba-8b23-615fcb6efb5f/ng+hills+-+Nana+Nana.jpg Blog - Introducing the Summit Scholarship Class of 2025 - Nana Nana, 35 ‘My mother gave me away to a stranger when I was 3 years old. I was raised in a children’s home with over a thousand children crammed into a space meant for a maximum of three hundred. From this young age, I developed resilience due to my circumstances. Being part of an all-women team signifies a shift in perspective and a powerful statement that women are equally capable of excelling in endurance sports and mountaineering. This journey would challenge and dismantle deeply rooted stereotypes, including those in my own village, where my grandmother still believes a woman’s place is in the kitchen or taking care of the family. This expedition is not just an opportunity for me to contribute to gender equity in outdoor adventures but also a chance to represent my country on a global stage.

From the age of four my dad had me hiking, skiing, rafting, camping, climbing, and diving. Then I picked up a camera at the age of eight and didn’t put it down until I went into foster care six years later. After entering the system, I wouldn’t come back to the outdoors or to my camera for over a decade. Most of my work now is an ode to my dad and our early explorations. In the same way that he shared adventure with me, I want to share it with others. Writing, especially summaries, have never been my strong suit. But I will say this: I’m for sure not the most qualified or deserving applicant, and applying almost feels ridiculous. But I’m here because I know this is where I’m meant to be. The intersection of storytelling and the outdoors have shaped me, from what I leaned on as a kid to what drives me today.

This has made it harder to find community and connection with others who understand the specific challenges I face. But joining an all-women mountaineering expedition is an opportunity to not only challenge myself physically and mentally but also to be part of a team that uplifts and empowers one another in high-stakes environments. I believe that when women come together in challenging environments like the mountains, we bring out the best in each other. I want to be part of a community where women can lead, inspire, and create a positive impact on one another, especially in high-stakes, high-pressure environments. I’m excited about this scholarship because it will help me grow as both a person in terms of my outdoor skills and also as a future medical professional in the outdoors who will be educated on how to properly navigate these environments.’ Amina (@aminaxhasan, she/her) will join AWExpeditions on Mount Baker as part of the Rope Team Rising Youth Mountaineering Course. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/17de03dc-eddb-499b-9dee-08c6f187f9c4/IMG_4692+-+Rushita+Thota.jpg Blog - Introducing the Summit Scholarship Class of 2025 - Rushita Thota, 18 ‘Gender equity has always been important to me because of my upbringing. My family originates from the interiors of Southern India, where my grandfather sustained our family through areca nut farming. Women were expected to stay at home and care for the farm and family without a choice. As a result, women in my family don’t pursue higher education as they don't have anyone to look up to as an example. Leaving generations of women in my family stuck in unhealthy marriages due to financial dependency. Learning that this is a common cycle for Rayalaseema agricultural families, I (…) began teaching coding to young girls in Rayalaseema who didn’t have access to computer science classes. Since then I’ve taught 70+ students who are now more motivated than ever to break social norms and prioritize their education over marriage. Gender equity is extremely important because it levels the playing field in a world disadvantaged towards women and allows us to both question and aspire to achieve beyond traditional expectations. Being part of the Rope team Rising Expedition with girls my age, I will be more inspired to bring that courageous and unapologetically confident energy back into my own life.’ Rushita (@rushii.ta23, she/her) will join AWExpeditions on Mount Baker as part of the Rope Team Rising Youth Mountaineering Course. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/5aa02c08-9a72-48d9-94b5-136ff6ca1c7a/IMG_2898+-+Rose+J.jpeg Blog - Introducing the Summit Scholarship Class of 2025 - Rose Jamarillo, 20 ‘I am a pre-med neuroscience major at Texas-A&M-University, so it leaves very little room to embrace the great outdoors at the degree I long to. Medicine fascinates me, but the great outdoors is what brings me life. Walking among God's creation reminds me of the beauty found in life itself. I am eager to join this expedition because it offers a unique opportunity to experience the outdoors alongside other women who share my love for the outdoors. Off the mountain, gender equity is crucial in education, the workplace, and society at large. As a first-generation college student, I understand the importance of representation within my field of study. Even after leaving my small town and entering one of the largest universities in the state of Texas, I was one of only 2 Hispanic women in my neuroscience lectures, the gap persisted. It's important to inspire future generations to climb their own mountains, both literal and metaphorical, with the confidence that their gender will not dictate their limits.’ Rose (@rrose.lizzyy, she/her) will join AWExpeditions on Mount Baker as part of the Rope Team Rising Youth Mountaineering Course. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/96de27d8-1d7c-4689-8111-52eabc26a4d2/C0200F42-0D24-4EC0-B66A-1BFAC679CD03+-+Tia+Smith.JPG Blog - Introducing the Summit Scholarship Class of 2025 - Tia Smith, 30 ‘I was adopted into a family where I became the oldest sibling to my hispanic little sister and my two autistic brothers. My father became sick and I watched as my mother struggled to support our family making only 73 cents for every dollar a man made. At 21 I became a desert backcountry backpacking guide. Not only did the men in my field who trained with me get promoted months before I did, when we were working the same Head Instructor position my male co-worker was making $12.50 an hour while I was making $8 an hour. Soon after, the director of the company said he would raise my salary for a kiss. I have extensive knowledge and experience when it comes to desert backpacking, Mountaineering however would be a completely new, eye opening, soul filling experience for me. I would love nothing more than to learn from women, for women. If I can be a person that even one woman, of any age, can look up to for change, for hope, for safety, both on and off the mountain, my heart will be full.’ Tia (@tsmitia, she/her) will join AWExpeditions on Mount Baker in July. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/482f8686-8111-40b6-b127-476832bee674/IMG_0797+-+Marjana+Tafader.jpeg Blog - Introducing the Summit Scholarship Class of 2025 - Marjana Tafader, 26 ‘As a Bangladeshi Muslim American woman I didn’t grow up seeing many Muslim women out there pursuing outdoor sports. I heard the same old narrative that women aren’t strong enough or brave enough or that they aren’t built to do hardcore things like climbing or mountaineering. Being rebellious and standing against the cultural expectations and norms is only half the battle and the other half is overcoming financial burdens, finding appropriate mentorship, a safe space and right resources that prevents us from being on the mountain. Gender equity on the mountain would empower a woman like me to dream big and pursue the mountains wholeheartedly knowing that we belong and we can take up space just as much as men do. I want to join the Mount Baker expedition as part of an all-women expedition team because it’s an unique opportunity to meet women from all walks of life who share the passion for the mountain and learn from them. It will be an empowering experience to be supported and uplifted by female guides/mentors who would help me push my boundaries and achieve the seemingly impossible.’ Marjana (@marjana_tafader, she/her) will join AWExpeditions on Mount Baker in July. https://www.summitscholarship.org/blog/gender-equity-in-outdoor-adventure-what-is-it-and-why-does-it-matter monthly 0.5 2024-12-05 https://www.summitscholarship.org/blog/0k9rk464ibrae0al1vpy7ilceef5rr monthly 0.5 2024-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/9c1e9327-28c2-47d7-95a1-abb26a2d89d7/image0+%281%29.jpeg Blog -

Mendo Sherpa, 18 “I’m eager to be a part of this all-women’s team expedition because in many communities–not only the climbing community–women don’t get the same opportunities as men. It's frustrating knowing that you can do so much more, yet you can't because the system doesn't allow it. I’m excited to participate in an expedition that supports and empowers other female climbers as I grow and learn. It’s important to recognize that experiences within the community may vary for different women and that more work needs to be done to ensure that all climbers are able to participate and thrive in an inclusive, equitable environment.” Mendo will be joining AWExpeditions on Mount Baker. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/ab48a5de-b1d0-4587-b146-d5a158283373/Maggie.png Blog - Drumroll please: Introducing the 2023 Summit Scholarship recipients - Margaret Gathungu, 36 “I cried tears of joy tears of feeling my hiking was making a turn that I never believed possible. It’s still sinking in that this is real. I have never hiked outside the African continent. Stepping on one of the seven summits outside Africa is an opportunity that I have never envisioned; the costs; travel and guiding fee have always been so intimidating that even dreaming of it seems like an impossibility. This scholarship has reignited the mantra that our dreams are valid. I have now gotten a nudge to wonder at mountains far and wide and to believe that it is possible to see, hike and climb them.” Maggy will be joining AWExpeditions for the Australian Alpine Academy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/71d6de74-1c3e-49df-8b1f-9876e99b50f9/Thale.png Blog - Drumroll please: Introducing the 2023 Summit Scholarship recipients - Katlego ‘Thale’ Letheo, 41 “I grew up in South Africa and when apartheid laws changed, I was 12, and became one of the first black students to attend a previously white school. The exposure to how the “other” enjoyed the freedom of the hills, the outdoors etc... started then, and it was fun, and I wanted to be a part of it. But I was the ONLY for so long that I decided that the only way to change the algorithm was to start a movement to diversify the outdoors. My non-profit organisation, Afrika Freedom Climbers, was registered as a result.” Thale will be joining AWExpeditions in Peru for Ishinca & Tocllaraju https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/06ddae38-a61d-44dc-b639-4eb29dba57cc/Elaine.png Blog - Drumroll please: Introducing the 2023 Summit Scholarship recipients - Elaine Ponce, 25 “I am of indigenous mezoamerican descent and work in my time outdoors towards connecting others with the land, much like my mother taught me to hold the land in high regard. My dream is for rematriation of our lands, where every person is a steward of the spaces we share outside, and where we can work together to have our spaces free of misogyny, racism, transphobia, homophobia, abelism, and bigotry.” Elaine will be joining AWExpeditions for the Paria Backpack. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/124dabde-a457-463e-9ba5-c3dd9c31475d/Charisse.png Blog - Drumroll please: Introducing the 2023 Summit Scholarship recipients - Charisse Surio, 29 “Mountaineering and outdoor recreation in general are predominantly white spaces, and I've often felt an "otherness" while pursuing my outdoor expeditions. It feels bittersweet to feel so elated while tackling summits in the mountains, only to be juxtaposed with the isolating experience of being one of the few brown people around on each adventure.” Callihan will be joining AWExpeditions on Mount Baker. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/79b9b86b-8bbe-4fe2-9aed-cd1cc45cd728/Callihan.png Blog - Drumroll please: Introducing the 2023 Summit Scholarship recipients - Callihan Johnson, 17 “As a young girl on the mountains - I often felt alone on the mountain. People were often shocked when they saw me, and often believed it was unsafe for me to be on the mountain. It was frustrating that people often believed that I was too young to be starting my dreams. Being a woman just elevated this to another level, and it was frustrating at time to feel that I had to justify my dreams.” Callihan will be joining AWExpeditions on Mount Baker. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/e9c16d9f-14a7-4f7e-bd95-9153392bfc01/Ava.png Blog - Drumroll please: Introducing the 2023 Summit Scholarship recipients - Ava Keniston, 14 “Especially at the beginning of my life journey as a woman, it would be an honor to join other strong, independent women on this monumental journey. The community that is sure to be formed through mental and physical challenge is not something I can access in my "regular" life. I want to push myself harder than I ever have before by stepping outside of my teenage girl life in America and striving to challenge body, mind and spirit.” Ava will be joining AWExpeditions on Mount Baker. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/648a0dc2-a97c-49cc-b51a-976e47bb22d0/Alyssa.png Blog - Drumroll please: Introducing the 2023 Summit Scholarship recipients - Alyssa Bruce, 27 “Regularly getting mistaken for a +1 or being asked where the rest of my group was when I've had such a hard time creating that kind of group is exhausting.

Sunny Stroeer The Summit Scholarship Foundation was founded by Sunny Stroeer, who currently also serves as the foundation’s volunteer Executive Director. The Summit Scholarship was born from an idea within AWExpeditions, Sunny’s for-profit mountaineering and adventure guiding company for women, by women. Since its inception within AWExpeditions in 2019, the Summit Scholarship has grown beyond its roots and is now an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, dedicated to creating access and opportunities for women and other marginalized genders in the outdoors. While AWExpeditions continues to plan and lead many (though not all) of the all-women climbs and adventures that scholarship recipients participate in free of charge, the Summit Scholarship has expanded its partnerships to include other affinity-centric operators such as She Moves Mountains and - newly encapsulated in The Compass Collective - Indigo Alpine Guides and The Venture Out Project to broaden the scholarship program’s reach and impact across the outdoor community. To learn more about Sunny and the passion that drives her work to bring more women into the big mountains, visit AWExpeditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/8b61c628-2846-45b8-a948-50da04f9ef3c/Screen+Shot+2023-05-17+at+5.55.25+PM.png Meet the Board & Staff - Shea McCrary Shea McCrary supports the Summit Scholarship Foundation with special projects - from overseeing the annual production of the Women of Mountaineering Calendar, to fundraising and developing processes for broadening the scope of our scholarship program, she does it all! https://www.summitscholarship.org/make-a-donation daily 0.75 2025-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/1635477371023-PBP3RO7C7DK14ESJ7OW0/AWE+x+MtBaker_Sunny-1283.jpeg Make a Donation - Make it stand out Martell & Farah, two Summit Scholarship recipients https://www.summitscholarship.org/newsletter daily 0.75 2025-12-18 https://www.summitscholarship.org/the-summit-scholarship daily 0.75 2025-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/1635477885743-RR2BGMGM3TZPIOF2FJYV/Summit+Scholarship+2019.JPG The Summit Scholarship - Why Women’s Mountaineering Scholarships? Glass ceilings, pay gaps, career drop-out rates, and a participation gap across many different fields - we all know many of the buzz words of gender equality and women empowerment. At the Summit Scholarship Foundation, we are closing the gender gap - one mountain at a time. We know first hand how life-changing it is to step outside your comfort zone on a high altitude peak like Kilimanjaro, or in the Himalayas. Read more about why gender equity in outdoor adventure matters to us, and why it should matter to you as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/1635477921844-BR3U517B5SJWNAEKL5G9/Marisa+Mt+Shasta.jpg The Summit Scholarship - #ClimbForEquality Women-focused mountaineering adventures can be a transformative experience. Just read this testimony from Melissa, our 2019 Summit Scholarship recipient who participated in an AWE expedition to Everest Basecamp and Island Peak in the Himalayas: "If I had to choose one major take away from this trip it would be recognizing the potential we all have for achieving things if we truly commit the time and energy to bringing them about... ...being around strong women who have not backed down in going after incredible things has been truly uplifting, and I want to continue to carry on and promote this spirit with the kickass ladies in my life. Thanks AWExpeditions for helping women see how achievable these goals are." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/1635479289154-GHKBCZYSUQZ5V2R2627R/AWE+x+MtBaker_Sunny-1257.jpg The Summit Scholarship - 2026 Program Timeline Applications open on December 15 2025.

We are looking for outdoor enthusiasts who are aligned with our values, and for whom this type of climb may be a truly extra-ordinary experience The program is designed to break down barriers; it gives priority to applicants with a credible reason for why they aren’t in a position to pay for this type of expedition out-of-pocket (if you ARE in a position to afford a climb like this, take a look at the all-female trips that our partner organization AWExpeditions is offering!) You don’t need prior mountaineering or backcountry experience, but you have to either be in good cardio shape or willing to train hard to get ready Your social media footprint is not a determinant for eligibility. Yes, storytelling is important to attract sponsors and funding for this program… but that’s what *we* do. Your social media following, or lack thereof, does not factor into the selection process. The ultimate list of scholarship recipients is decided amongst the Summit Scholarship Steering Committee which includes the board of the AWE Summit Scholarship Foundation as well as representatives from program sponsors, partners, and program alumnae. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/ef58638e-4fef-4de0-9967-21d2f4c53427/AWE+x+MtBaker_Sunny-0488.jpg Selection Process - Selection Process We take the Summit Scholarship recipient selection very seriously. For maximum fairness, we initially consider all applications without identifying information such as name, age, social media, or location. There are multiple rounds of application reviews where Steering Committee members identify the strongest candidates against the following criteria: Alignment with our mission: You are attuned to the challenges of gender bias, even where it is subtle, and you are keen to be part of making change. Credible financial need: There is a reason why paying for a big adventure out of pocket would be challenging for you in the near future. Transformative potential: Receiving a scholarship means something to you that goes above and beyond simply adding another feather to your adventure cap. At the very end of the selection process, we reintroduce identifiers such as age & location in order to match finalists to the specific scholarships they have applied for. Every year, there is a multitude of deserving applicants who are not selected as scholarship recipients. That is why we continue to work hard to expand the available funding and number of scholarships. You can do your part by making a donation (no amount is too small!) or buying a Women of Mountaineering calendar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153f17d70ebd0659edef5b2/1f2d2ff9-0187-4a1a-ad59-c921de4d768e/AWE+x+MtBaker_Sunny-0624.jpg Selection Process - Do’s and Don’ts DO give yourself permission to dream. If you’re at all wavering if you’d ever have a shot… yes, this scholarship program is for you! DO submit your application with enough lead time before the deadline, and DON’T ask for exceptions to the application process. If you missed the application deadline, you’ll have to wait until next year. DO reflect on the open-ended essay questions. Answer them with something more substantive than a word or two to give yourself the best chances in the selection process. DON’T feel the need to write a novel. A well-written paragraph or two is usually more powerful than a two page statement. There is a 250 word limit to most of the application’s essay questions. DO share this scholarship program with the women, girls, and gender-diverse adventurers in your life who would value it. A rising tide lifts all boats. We place emphasis on supporting one another over and above any thoughts of competition. https://www.summitscholarship.org/summit-scholarship-faqs daily 0.75 2025-11-02
