College Access Foundation of California and the Coachella Valley Economic Partnership (CVEP) launched the Pathways to Success program in 2008. Pathways to Success is designed to organize a regional collaborative that engages the entire Coachella Valley in the effort to get more local students into and through college. In order to increase the amount of support available, Pathways to Success matches funds earmarked for college scholarships by selected organizations. 

In 2010, Pathways to Success will match $12,500 from Women Leaders Forum of the Coachella Valley. In addition to the financial award, scholarship recipients receive substantial student support through educational workshops, a mentorship program, and a student-run network. 

“WLF is thrilled to have been selected as a 2010 Matching Partner by Pathways to Success,” says WLF President Kate Spates.  “The matching partnership with Pathways to Success will allow us to double the dollar amount of WLF’s 2010 scholarship awards to deserving young women from Coachella Valley high schools.”

Since Women Leaders Forum’s inception in 2001, WLF has provided more than $100,000 in college scholarships.
