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