Initiatives For Women (IFW) benefits women students, faculty, and staff - and the University at Albany and our community as a whole - by providing them the means to advance their educational and professional goals. Through individual donations, corporate and foundation contributions, IFW supports women in a variety of ways:

• Scholarships, graduate fellowships, and general awards.
  
• Research on women's issues and causes.
  
• Assistance in the purchases of books, software, and course materials.
  
• Internships and training programs.
  
• Tuition and course registration fees.
  
• Travel and research affiliated expenses.
  
• Career planning, advisement, mentoring, and counseling.
  
• Workshops and seminars on topics of interest.
  
• Disabled women's services and assistance.
  
• Leadership development opportunities.

An all-volunteer Steering Committee runs the Initiatives For Women program under the auspices of the University at Albany Office of the Provost. The Steering Committee members are absolutely dedicated to the IFW motto:

Support Her Dream

Since its founding in 1993, IFW has been featured in the news many times, and additional background information about IFW work is available.
