Your story
belongs on
the stage.
The SheIsMe Speaks Scholarship opens a place in our training for women who are ready to claim the mic, gather other women, and lead in their own city. When cost is what stands in your way, we help carry it.
Every scholarship is made possible by Unmuted and the SheIsMe Global Annual Conference. When one woman gives, another woman rises.
About Unmuted →
For the woman with
something to say.
SheIsMe Speaks! is a TEDx-style platform reimagined for women: stages and facilitator-led events where women claim the mic and spark transformation in their communities.
This scholarship exists so that money is never the reason a woman with a powerful story stays silent.
Three things you will
not do alone.
Recipients receive a place in SheIsMe Speaks training and walk into their first event with our team beside them.
You may be the woman
we are looking for.
You do not need to be a polished speaker or have a large following. We are looking for heart, effort, and readiness to lead.
Many women come to SheIsMe while rebuilding after hard seasons, including domestic violence and sexual assault. If that is part of your story, you are welcome here. You choose what you share.
Your story is not a confession. It is a catalyst.

Questions women ask us.
Does it cost anything?
No. There is no cost to apply and no cost for the training. The scholarship covers your place in full.
Do I need speaking experience?
No. Many SheIsMe speakers had never held a microphone before. We are looking for a story worth sharing and a willingness to learn.
What if I have never run an event?
Tell us about an event you helped with, at work, school, church, or in your community. We want to see how you show up, not how big the event was.
Who reads my application?
Only the SheIsMe scholarship team. Share what feels right to you, and nothing more.
When are scholarships awarded?
Scholarships are awarded in four rounds each year, so there is always a next opportunity to apply.
Somewhere in your city,
a woman is waiting
to hear you.
