About the Program
In 2020, Samvid Ventures launched Samvid Young Leaders, a scholarship awarded to high achieving, college-bound young women who face significant financial challenges. The values we look for in young leaders are ambition, resourcefulness, perseverance, collaboration, service, and an interest in financial literacy. The program includes up to $10,000 annually for non-tuition expenses for up to four years, coaching and mentoring in financial literacy, and a supportive cohort model with connection to peer leaders.
