IWF Fellows Leadership Program
About the program
Launched in 1994 with funding from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Glass Ceiling Commission, the Fellows Program is a curated leadership development experience for senior women executives. It brings together a global cohort of diverse leaders from across sectors, organizations and countries. With alumnae including the Chief Resilience Officer of NASA; the Chief People Officer of Air New Zealand; Foreign Diplomats; and, Tech Entrepreneurs, the Fellows Program is a transformative experience accelerating the career of over 500+ women around the world.
Featuring academic partnerships with Harvard Business School and INSEAD, the Fellows Program offers customised leadership training for high-achieving women leaders on their path to the C-suite. The approach is holistic and focused on the participant’s personal and professional development, career path, and trajectory, while embracing the value of an outside perspective.

The IWF Australia Fellows Program Scholarship provides full or partial funding to enable a leading Australian woman to attend the IWF Fellows Program. At a cost of USD30,000, women without independent means or access to corporate support, would otherwise be excluded from the opportunity. With our global mission of Advancing Women’s Leadership and Championing Equality Worldwide, we are committed to ensuring all women have access to this life-changing program.
To be eligible for scholarship funding, candidates must be:
Women working in environments unlikely to be able to afford tuition, such as entrepreneurs/start-ups, not-for-profits, civic or governmental organisations, academia, or small business.
Of diverse backgrounds, including racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and cultural backgrounds and various lifestyles, experience, and interests.
Our goal is to nominate one to two Australian Women for the 2023/24 program.
