Where it’s never too late to start a new beginning!

The EWL Austin Chapter is excited to host our Second Annual Charity Golf Tournament on Friday, April 11, 2025, and we would love to have your support as a sponsor!
Thanks to the generosity of last year’s sponsors, our inaugural tournament at the stunning Kissing Tree Golf Course in San Marcos TX raised over $15,000, directly funding scholarships for seven incredible women at Texas State University: Alexandra, Alyssa, Melanie, Anthoneisha, Selena, Michelle, and Alicia. These determined students are pursuing degrees in social work, civil engineering, photography, art history/education, and psychology, each striving to create a brighter future for themselves and their families.

Committed to Our Mission
Empowering Women as Leaders (EWL) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting non-traditional age women, in financial need, to achieve their highest potential through scholarships, mentoring, and networking.
Founded in 2004, EWL provides scholarship assistance to non-traditional college age women who often face challenges with obtaining traditional financial support. We call the women we support - STARs. Our goal is to ignite each STAR's own light and energy and to give them confidence that they can achieve their dreams.
We go the distance with our STARs by also providing them with mentors and networking opportunities during their college years and as they take on leadership roles in their careers.

Celebrating Our Success
Empowering Women as Leaders is celebrating our 20th year anniversary. We have sponsored 154 women in reinventing their lives through scholarships, mentoring, and networking. To date, EWL has awarded approximately $500,000 in scholarships. Due to our strong mentoring and networking programs, our STAR graduation rate is substantially higher than the national average.
The Austin Chapter of EWL launched in January 2022, and we have the privilege of partnering with Texas State University to provide scholarships and mentoring to these STARS.
