EWL Dallas – Rooted in Leadership, Driven by Impact

As the founding chapter of Empowering Women as Leaders, EWL Dallas sets the tone for what’s possible when women invest in each other. With a strong legacy and a dynamic network, this chapter continues to lead with purpose—supporting future leaders through scholarships, career development, and powerful connections.

Our STARs

Why do we call them our STARs?

​It has been said that STARs produce their own light and energy.

EWL STARs are deserving non-traditionally aged women who are provided the mentoring and education to help them ignite their own light and energy so they may shine bright in the future lives and careers.

At Texas Women’s University each STAR receives $1,500.00 per semester, plus mentoring. Scholarship amounts will vary with respective Chapters depending upon the relationship with their partner college/university.
