WOODROW WILSON NATIONAL FELLOWSHIP FOUNDATION
Founded in 1945, the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to the encouragement of excellence in education through the identification of critical needs and the development of effective national programs to address them. This combination of analysis and translation into action is the Foundation’s unique contribution.
The Foundation’s three broad areas of concern are: A Liberal Arts Renaissance, Access and Opportunity, and Partnerships for Learning. Its programs include fellowships for graduate study, professional development for teachers, educational opportunities for women and minorities, relating the academy to society, and national service. Through its programs, the Foundation seeks to encourage a new generation of leaders. Most programs address at least two of the three general Foundation goals.

ZONTA INTERNATIONAL
Since 1928, Zonta International has addressed challenges to women’s equality in science, business, public affairs and government by providing critical financial support through programs aimed at furthering women’s education, leadership and youth development.
Amelia Earhart Fellowship Program
The Amelia Earhart Fellowships were established in 1938 in honor of Amelia Earhart, famed pilot and Zontian. At the time, few women were active in aeronautics, science or engineering. In
fact, no qualified applicants were found in the first two years the Fellowship was offered.
Since then, Zonta has awarded 1,087 Fellowships totaling over US$5 million to women representing 57 countries. As a result, doors have been opened for women to become astronauts, aerospace engineers, astronomers, heads of companies, geologists, business owners, even the Secretary of the US Air Force.
Young Women in Public Affairs Program
  Zonta International recognizes the international need for increased participation of women in public affairs at all levels. The Young Women in Public Affairs Awards encourage young women to pursue careers in government, public policy and community organizations.
The Young Women in Public Affairs Awards recognize pre-university and pre-college women students committed to leadership in public policy, government and volunteer organizations.
