They are among the 55 recipients of the 2024 BU Women’s Guild (BUWG) scholarships. This year, the BUWG awarded over $250,000 to support BU graduate students.

The BUWG scholarships support women, and those who identify as female, in BU graduate programs, as well as BU women writers, with awards ranging from $1,000-5,000. Since 1977, the organization has distributed over $800,000 in scholarships to more than 400 BU graduate students.
