Big Idea

Scholarship

Back BIG IDEAS. Build GOOD BUSINESS. Transform the Future.

Across Australia, women have brilliant ideas — world-changing, job-creating, community-shifting ideas — but they’re locked out of the earliest stage capital and support to develop and test their idea.

Big Idea Scholarship changes that.

To celebrate 10 years of Global Sisters, we’re backing 10 women founders with bold, high-potential ideas.

Each receives $10,000 in early-stage funding grant, expert support, and a pathway to accessing larger funding or investment.

This isn’t charity. It’s economic empowerment.

It’s building the pipeline of Australia’s next generation of women-led GOOD BUSINESSES.
