Make Doctoral Education More Equitable
Your Support Opens Doors for Black Women and Historically Excluded Scholars
Higher education should be a space where all scholars have the opportunity to thrive — but systemic barriers continue to make the doctoral journey harder for Black women and historically excluded students.
Your gift ensures that mentorship, career coaching, and community support remain accessible to those who need it most.
100% of your donation supports the academic, professional, financial, and mental well-being of historically excluded doctoral students, applicants, and early-career researchers.
Your Gift in Action
$50 funds 1 month of professional development training to a woman of color doctoral student or applicant.
$100 supports a semester of training and resources for a doctoral student, improving their academic and mental well-being.
$250 provides a year of peer mentoring for a doctoral student, helping them develop essential skills for academic and career success.
$1,000 covers a year of professional mentorship and group coaching for a doctoral student, offering personalized guidance and support.
