I’ve awarded over $800k in scholarships

About the 2025 Program

Before this year, scholarships have only been to my workshops and events. This year, I’m changing things up and adding more structure and group and individual coaching components. I’m also splitting scholarships into two distinct tracks so you can tap into distinct learning and the supportive power of community. There will be one track for executives (and those right on the cusp of becoming an executive) and one track for founders. Each cohort will consist of 12 women. The program is a 12-month commitment and runs from January to December 2025. It’s $20k in value and includes the following elements:

  • 2-hour monthly group coaching sessions (meeting time to be agreed upon by the group)

  • 4 - individual quarterly 50-minute coaching sessions (each scholarship recipient gets one 5o-minute coaching session with Denise each quarter)

  • Access to all of my scheduled workshops and events, including office hours and speed-networking

  • Access to my private resource library

Scholarship Program Criteria

  1. For founders: you must currently be an established or aspiring business founder with annual revenue not exceeding $120k.

  2. For executives: you must be an executive who has achieved the title of vice president or above. I will consider directors from large companies and/or those who can prove they are high-potential and on the cusp of becoming an executive given their trajectory and scope of responsibility. You must be unemployed, in transition or under-employed.

  3. You must commit to attending all or most of the group and individual coaching sessions. For the workshops and events, you can just choose to attend the ones with the most relevance to you.

  4. Please note that preference is given to women and non-binary individuals who are in the global majority, disabled and/or LGBTQIA+ communities.

  5. The deadline to apply for the scholarship program is November 30, 2024. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance status by December 15, 2025.
