Women of Midland
4th Annual Women of Midland Campaign
The Women of Midland campaign is a fundraising and storytelling initiative held during Women's History Month that aims to recognize past and present women of Midland and raise scholarship support to impact future generations of women students at Midland University. The campaign aims to raise funds for the Women of Midland Scholarship Fund in honor of bold women who forged paths to become the first in their fields to achieve a goal, to encourage future women to be bold, courageous, and be inspired to become a "first."
Women of Midland Scholarship Fund
The Women of Midland Scholarship Fund was created to celebrate 140 years of women at Midland University. Through this scholarship fund, we hope to inspire and support the next generation of women at Midland by supporting traditional or non-traditional female students of Midland University's undergraduate programs.
