Beauty, Brains, & Business™ Entrepreneur Grants and Scholarships

Our Story

With the state of the economy, it has become more important than ever for women to open up and prosper in their own businesses. More frequently within the past few decades, women have been leaving behind their stay-at-home parent roles and replacing (sometimes combining) them with their own independent business ventures.

However, obtaining funding for these new business ventures can be a frustrating process. We strive to encourage women forward by making business and education a priority.

EMBRACE YOUR INNER GODDESS
With grants and scholarships that encourage and support women in leadership roles in wine & spirits, hospitality, tech, beauty, and finance.

Education

Academic education has a way of providing women with in-demand, disruptive skills they need to aid them in excelling in management and leadership roles. E.g., a master’s of hospitality degree can lead a woman from working the front desk to being head of HR for a major hotel. Combined with experience, a certificate or associate degree, or an MBA can result in a lifelong career.

Leadership

Mentoring

Leadership coaching can make a difference between career growth and stagnation. Professional women often utilize quality career coaching to build in-demand leadership skills needed to grow into their best leader-self.

Conferences

Community

Executive networking events/conferences are a powerful way to find sponsors and mentors, identify career opportunities, build a successful team, anticipate organizational changes, and stay on top of industry trends.

Overall, creating the environment and community you need to thrive will always be one of your strongest tools and assets.

Together we can build the next generation of women leaders by supporting the continued education, coaching, and professional certifications for
women building in businesses and working in traditionally male-dominated fields of
tech, wine & spirits, hospitality, and finance.

For those who aim to go into faster-growing occupations, such as STEM or healthcare, the expectations are even higher than for male peers. To meet these requirements, students are accumulating record amounts of student debt — an issue that disproportionately affects women as women still face hefty barriers to enter many high-paying professions, financial and professional support can play an integral role in facilitating success.

8.2% of Fortune 500 CEOs are Women, according to the 2021 'Women CEOs in America' report, and out of 41 total, only 2 are black.

Research shows that women-owned companies generate higher revenues than those owned by men. It also showed that women are more effective as a leader and are better at creating jobs. Experts at Boston Consulting Group also found that women made twice as much per dollar of investment than men.
