Project Awards
About the Project Awards

Girl Up Project Awards allow anyone between the ages of 13-24 to apply for a cause they are passionate about and receive funding up to $1,000 USD to make that vision a reality. Projects are not limited to a certain topic (they can be in any category) and can also include events a Club is attempting to put on in their community. If you have an amazing project idea or event in mind and need funding to support that reality, the Project Awards are for you. 

  1. The 2025 Project Award application is now closed for youth in MENA, Canada, South Asia & the Pacific, and Europe. For other regions:
  • Sub-Saharan Africa: Opportunities will be integrated into our upcoming WiSci Camp.
  • Latin America: Youth can participate through our virtual Hackathon.
  • USA: The Project Award will be part of a virtual STEAM Hackathon.
