Our Programs • Essence of a Haitian Woman
Empowering young women of Haitian descent to pursue business degrees at Florida A&M University.
The minority of Haitian women in the business industry underscores a need for recruitment. Thus, through our foundation, we are an outreach apparatus aimed at challenging that deficit. Through our Scholarship Foundation, promising young women of Haitian descent can realize their dreams in pursuing an accelerated education in business. The foundation includes raising funds to provide scholarships to female students currently at Florida A&M University and female adolescents in the Miami-Dade, Broward, or West Palm Beach County Public High Schools.
Our mission is to empower female adolescents and young women of Haitian descent by providing mentoring opportunities between them and women in the professional sector, while significantly increasing the number of Haitian women in the areas of International Business, Business Administration, Business Management, Accounting, Marketing, Finance, and Entrepreneurship.
The scholarship renders $500 to $1,000 scholarships to promising female adolescents of Haitian descent, who are academically successful high school seniors aspiring to achieve a business degree at Florida A&M University. The graduating senior will be a student at one of the Miami-Dade, Broward, or West Palm Beach Public High Schools. The student must have an overall un-weighted grade point average of 3.0 or above. You must provide a copy of your high school transcript and an official acceptance letter from Florida A&M University indicating admittance and major. The applicant must submit an essay with the application. An essay topic is listed on the application.
The scholarship is conditional upon the promising senior's first semester grades at Florida A&M University. Recipients are required to maintain a minimum 3.0 grade point average and provide documentation of their second semester enrollment. Upon receipt of the scholarship recipient's first semester grades, students are awarded the scholarship during the spring semester.
