To the Women’s Independence Scholarship Program Alumni Association Members:
It is really a joy to have a part in the lives of such extraordinary women. You have overcome tremendous obstacles to get where you are today, and we are delighted to be part of your story.
Many of you have asked how you can “give back” to the Foundation. The answer is simple: stay in touch with us! I’ve invested millions of dollars in WISP because I am convinced that education is the only sure way to break down barriers and open doors to a better life. I need your feedback to gauge the success of our program, and if I’m right; if we’re on the right track, we can help more women realize their educational dreams.
There are plenty of other reasons why all of us want to stay in touch. And – based on surveys of former WISP recipients - you’d like to keep in contact with us, too. Graduates told us that the personal connection with the Foundation is important, that others’ stories of triumph are a source of inspiration, and there is value in being able to share information with other women. We agree, and hope the WISP Alumni Association will promote communication and spark continued progress.
In the Alumni section of the website you will find all sorts of wonderful resources: information on our Change Your World scholarship for your sons and daughters, the Alumni Sunbeam Grant and more. You can even make sure we have your current contact information by using our easy address update form!
I’m counting on you to stay in touch, and I’m looking forward to sharing your new life.
