Alliance of Women Executives (AWE)

Boca Raton, FL – Alliance of Women Executives (AWE) was founded in 2016 in Palm Beach County.  We are a member based  501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to raise funds for scholarships to be awarded to young women who are graduating from a Palm Beach County high school and continuing their education at FAU or PBSC. These young women continue their higher education in their home community for various reasons including financial restraints, family/children responsibilities or a desire to remain in their hometown.

With increasing college tuition costs, decreasing financial aid dollars and soaring debt loans, today’s students are faced with more challenges than ever before. They depend on us, local citizens, businesses, member associations, organizations and foundations to support scholarships that meet the critical needs of Palm Beach County students.

“Last year AWE awarded 4 scholarships, this year, we are thrilled to award 12!” said Vicki Tate, President.  The recipients were selected from 52 applications representing 21 schools.

On April 23rd the Alliance of  Women Executives (AWE) awarded  twelve (12) $1500 scholarships to Karlie Stevens, Gena Jean Francois, Karen Dorsainvil, Regime Brinley, Ritzamaelyn Augustin, Delincia Bertrand, Guesnaisha Altena, Anna Hernandez, Katherine Houghton, Angelina Van, Natasha Worrell and Kathrell Hicks.
