The BPW Triangle scholarship has meant a great deal to me. Like other professional women, I hoped to draw on my personal experience and passion to build a new career. BPW’s financial support and the Triangle chapter members really affirmed my belief that I could do it.- Janet Golden

I would like to express my gratitude again for your financial support through the 2018 BPW Triangle Scholarship.  It is because of your generosity that I was able to fund my education this school year at Yale University.  Thank you again!
