Student Grants
Summer grants were awarded to students who participated in unpaid summer internships at various organizations focusing on healthcare research and advocacy, the history of redlining, human-centered engineering, US-Asian relations, criminal justice, and museum education. Travel grants were also awarded to students who participated in opportunities that supported their career interests, including global poverty, disaster nursing, filmmaking, photography, and education research. Three students also received a grant to attend the GenHERation Discovery Days program, which connects young women with female leaders from Fortune 500 companies, tech giants, government agencies, retail, the sporting industry, and other companies for networking and mentorship opportunities.

GenHERation Discovery Days
My favorite part about the GenHERation summer program was working on the team mini-projects with other girls and having one-on-one coffee chats with women in the workforce on the last day. I gleaned great insight from their work experiences in Sales, People Management, and Product Management. It opened my eyes to new careers I had never thought of.
