The scholarship provides a unique opportunity for winners to access this incredibly unique and high-calibre community while also receiving premium training and mentoring.

The signature activities include a 2-week Online Leaders Program, a 2-day Leadership Summit, small group mentoring, leadership webinars and a lifetime Red membership.
The scholarship is targeted at women who are current or future leaders in their field or community who want to connect to a bigger, like-minded community to help fast-track their skills and network.

"I understand the unique barriers faced by women who live in regional and rural areas. I know that women are often the ones who lend a listening ear, put themselves second, lift up those around them when times are tough and bring communities together."
—The Hon. Bronnie Taylor, MLC
"Future Women is dedicated to building a deep and diverse membership. This scholarship is about actively encouraging women from outside our major cities to connect, learn and lead. As a country person I know there is a lot to learn from the women who live in the bush and vice versa."
— Helen McCabe, Founder and Managing Director, Future Women
