FEW's PartnersFEW Foundation for Education and Training Established in 2004, the FEW Foundation for Education and Training is the 501(c)(3) charitable arm of the national organization. The mission of the Foundation is to empower the achievement of career goals through education and training. To support the mission, the Foundation established an academic scholarship program in 2006 for FEW members and their families. Grantham University, a 100% online university based in Kansas City, Missouri, was the first school to offer a full four-year scholarship. Since 2006, the Foundation has also increased the number of free webinars offered on relevant topics, such as leadership, women’s equality, project management, and more. In addition, the Foundation has developed relationships with other academic partners to offer FEW members and their families discounts on tuition rates for courses in career tracks such as information technology, business administration, project management, and other business-related topics. As its financial base grows through participation in the Combined Federal Campaign and other revenue streams, the Foundation will continue to offer scholarships to national and regional training programs as well as research additional ways the Foundation can assist members and their families through education and training.
