ATHENA Scholarship Program and Luncheon

The ATHENA Scholarship Program was created in 1999 for full-time post-secondary students between the ages of 18 and 30 years old.  As well as having excellent academic achievement, recipients must be interested in increasing leadership opportunities for women and enhancing the quality of life in our community.  It is supported by generous donations from private citizens, corporations, professions, academic institutions and community organizations.  In 2004 the ATHENA Scholarship Fund (Windsor) was established as a registered charity.  The Fund is currently invested and its assets managed by the WindsorEssex Community Foundation.

Since 2001 the ATHENA Committee has hosted an ATHENA Scholarship Luncheon to honour the ATHENA Scholarship recipients, to acknowledge its generous sponsors and to feature a speaker of influence who exemplifies its values. The ATHENA Luncheon is usually held in October or November of each year.
