ABOUT BRILLIANT MINDED WOMEN FOUNDATION

Charity Registration Tax No. 78440 3727 RR0001

The Brilliant Minded Women Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to advancing higher education by providing publicly available scholarships and grants, with a particular focus on women across Canada. Our foundation also offers coaching and mentoring, assisting students in achieving success in their academic pursuits. The scholarship program is designed to support and recognize the efforts and accomplishments of students who contribute to improving the world through small acts that have far-reaching significance for their personal goals and the communities they serve. These young individuals demonstrate personal determination in their quest for development while simultaneously working towards a better world.

GOAL

To support the development of future leaders through education, mentoring, and community impact, shaping a world where each individual’s potential is nurtured for the benefit of society. We aim to raise funds for scholarships for young students annually. We seek to recognize and support students who demonstrate academic excellence and commitment to community service, fostering their growth into future, influential leaders.

WHY JOIN US?

Education is incredibly important for both genders; however, as we all know, the world is not always a safe or fair place. Worldwide, over 130 million girls are denied access to education, preventing them from realizing their full potential. This issue is not confined to distant places. The student debt crisis in our own communities hinders young people from pursuing higher education. Brilliant Minded Women aims to provide scholarships that enable students to achieve their dreams and contribute to the betterment of our community. A key aspect of our mission is to support these individuals by showcasing stories of leadership and achievements, and by offering ongoing mentorship to help them develop their skills.

“Education is the best gift you can give yourself or someone else.”
