Education opens doors, expands opportunity, and strengthens communities.

The Phoebes in Philanthropy EmpowHER Scholarship Fund supports women who are pursuing education and building a brighter future. Whether it’s a graduating high school senior taking her next step or a woman returning to school later in life, these scholarships help remove financial barriers and encourage women who are investing in themselves. Through this program, Love My Phoebe celebrates the determination, resilience, and ambition of women committed to growing, learning, and creating new opportunities for their lives, families, and communities.

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Love My Phoebe currently offers two scholarship opportunities through the Phoebes in Philanthropy EmpowHER Scholarship Fund, supporting women at different stages in their educational journey.

The Phoebes in Philanthropy Scholarship Fund

We believe it’s never too late to pursue your goals! The Phoebes in Philanthropy Scholarship Fund was created to support BIPOC women 30 years and older who are enrolled in undergraduate, graduate, or trade school programs in Georgia or New York.

Launched in October 2023, the fund awarded its first scholarship to a local high school student. In partnership with Bold.org, we’re continuing to grow our impact by creating more opportunities for women to access education, build confidence, and pursue their goals.

We understand the unique challenges that come with returning to school later in life—juggling responsibilities while also striving for growth. This scholarship fund is our way of saying: you deserve the chance to thrive!

The Meaning Behind “Phoebe”

At Love My Phoebe, a Phoebe represents that woman who shows up with encouragement, strength, and support when it’s needed most. Through the Phoebes in Philanthropy EmpowHER Scholarship Fund, we continue that tradition by investing in women who are pursuing education and building brighter futures.

Because when one woman is supported, she often becomes a Phoebe for someone else.
