SHE-CAN Scholarship Coalition
The SHE-CAN Scholarship Coalition is an elite group of prestigious schools that partner with us to support our scholars. A SHE-CAN partnership allows colleges to enrich their campuses with outstanding low-income young women from post-conflict countries - Cambodia, Liberia, and soon, Guatemala.
Partner colleges and universities agree to provide a SHE-CAN scholar with a full tuition scholarship and to cover room and board costs. SHE-CAN provides all the rest -- invaluable wraparound support that ensures our scholars have a successful college experience and return home as leaders.
SHE-CAN’s scholar support starts with our extensive staff and expands to a dedicated mentor team who is committed to helping their scholar succeed. Together, we help our scholars:

SHE-CAN’s scholar support starts with our extensive staff and expands to a dedicated mentor team who is committed to helping their scholar succeed. Together, we help our scholars:
- Get Ready for Life in the U.S.: Extensive vetting, entrance exam prep, support of leadership projects, immigration processing support, pre-college writing & reading prep, acculturation workshops, and more
- Settle in at College: Flights, a place to stay before going to campus, move-in support, dorm supplies, warm clothing, a computer & phone, and more
- Thrive on Campus: Guidance from five mentors, a home for the holidays, health insurance, books, internship support, and more
- Develop as a Leader: Annual leadership training, extensive public speaking experience, personal development courses, enhanced English language courses, and more
As a SHE-CAN Scholarship Coalition member, colleges benefit from having outstanding students on their campus. Our extensive, in-person recruiting process assures our scholars shine on campus. Over two-thirds of our scholars are on the Dean's List, 99% graduate on time, and the average GPA for last semester was 3.4. In addition, our scholars get involved on campus as resident advisors, orientation leaders, club presidents, study abroad scholars, and more. Once they graduate, they become leaders at home and distinguished alumni.
