Through the Women's Hall of Fame, over 30 scholarships are awarded annually for areas of study such as telecommunications, life/physical sciences, computer science, health care/nursing, environmental studies, business and finance, mathematics, engineering, and more.

We are now providing online support and information for Sandwich Generation Caregivers - women caught between kids, careers, and elderly in Westchester County. Visit our Facebook page for more information.
