The Society of Women Environmental Professionals (SWEP) of Greater Philadelphia annually awards graduate candidates in accredited environmental graduate, law, and/or PhD programs. In 2025, we have also opened the application opportunity to undergraduate-level students enrolled in accredited environmental programs. Selected scholarship recipients are invited to be recognized at our annual Touchstone Gala, where they have the opportunity to showcase their accomplishments, research, or thesis projects.
We believe scholarships are key to encourage and promote leadership, achievement, and skill development for professionals looking to fulfill a career in the environmental field. To be considered eligible for a scholarship, applicants must be individuals identifying as a woman.
To be considered for this scholarship opportunity, the following parameters must be met prior to applying:
For Single Chapter Individual Student / Academia Membership information, please refer to the link: 4b. Individual Student / Academia / Retiree Single Chapter - $20.00 (USD).

GP SWEP is excited to announce Ashley Choi and Lily Kelleher as the selected applicants of our two scholarships for the 2024 year!
