“Title IX changed (and continues to change) the game for female athletes.”

An Intercampus Fellowship of Students

JOIN OUR GROWING NUMBER OF DISTINGUISHED FELLOWS

WomenX is building a national network of women students who are ready to lead, advocate, and create lasting change on their campuses. At the heart of this work are our Campus Leaders, students who build or grow WomenX Chapters and create women-centered spaces for learning, community, and action.

Through education, mentorship, and advocacy, Campus Leaders help move the promise of Title IX forward while gaining the leadership, communication, and organizing skills needed to make real impact on campus and beyond.

As part of a growing network spanning more than 60 campuses, Campus Leaders connect with peers across the country through national gatherings and shared learning experiences. These connections extend beyond college, helping students grow their professional networks and build the skills needed to pursue purposeful careers after graduation.

By applying to become a Campus Leader, you step into a role that combines advocacy with professional development, community with leadership, and campus impact with long-term career growth.

Join our community of 200+ WomenX alumnae from over 60 campuses nationwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

#HerNine began as a campaign to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Title IX inspiring everyone to reflect on its principles and discover our person connection to benefits of Title IX ensuring that its legacy continues.

Our goal is to accept around 30 Fellows. Applicants will join a growing alumnae network of more than 200 students across 60+ campuses.

There is no application fee or cost to the student for this Fellowship. WomenX works to create pathways of opportunity to all students.

We will accept and review applications on a rolling basis through January 30, 2026, 11:59 pm ET.

We recruit undergraduate women who are interested in gender equity and on a case by case basis, we’ll consider an applicant who attends graduate school.

The Fellowship is designed to be flexible and supportive of students’ academic commitments. The specific schedule will be finalized once the cohort is selected and may vary by cohort.

In general, Fellows should plan for a modest weekly time commitment, which may include a live learning session or collaborative gathering, independent or group work, and optional engagement on the WomenX digital campus. Weekly office hours will be available to provide guidance, answer questions, and support Fellows as they apply what they are learning.

WomenX is committed to creating a meaningful experience without overwhelming students, and we work closely with each cohort to set expectations that are realistic and manageable alongside coursework and campus leadership responsibilities.

Class sessions are scheduled based on the availability of the cohort and will be finalized once participants are selected. WomenX works to accommodate students across different campuses, time zones, and academic schedules.

Sessions may take place on different days depending on the cohort and may include a mix of live learning sessions, collaborative gatherings, and optional opportunities to connect. Weekly office hours will also be offered on set days to ensure Fellows have consistent access to support and guidance.

Our goal is to create a schedule that is accessible, inclusive, and manageable for all Fellows.

Join our digital campus, WomenX for All and sign up for our weekly office hours.

There is also contact information in the application form.

We look forward to meeting you!

Why should you join?

Each year, WomenX brings together a small, intentional cohort of student leaders from campuses across the country. Campus Leaders are selected not because they have all the answers, but because they are curious, committed, and ready to learn, lead, and grow alongside peers.

Participants receive a scholarship covering the full cost of the WomenX Fellowship and engage in a flexible learning experience that may include virtual sessions, collaborative projects, and national gatherings, depending on the cohort.

Through shared learning and mentorship, Campus Leaders deepen their understanding of Title IX, explore how gender equity shows up on their own campuses, and gain knowledge they will carry into leadership roles and workplaces long after college.

Equally important, Campus Leaders gain professional skills and national connections that extend beyond college. Through leadership development, cross-campus collaboration, and exposure to a network of women leaders, students build confidence, expand their professional networks, and develop the tools needed to advance gender equity throughout their careers.

Becoming a Campus Leader is both an opportunity and an honor, and above all, it is an invitation to learn, contribute, and grow as part of a supportive national community.

This Fellowship Will Enhance Your Undergraduate Experience and Prepares You For What Comes Next:

  • Access to a National Learning Community: Access the WomenX digital campus to explore curated curriculum, resources, and conversations that extend beyond your own campus. Fellows connect with one another and with WomenX alumnae across the country, building relationships that continue well beyond the Fellowship experience.

  • Expand Your Network: Build meaningful connections with student leaders, women professionals, and trailblazers from across the U.S. who are committed to advancing gender equity in education, sports, and the workplace.

  • Develop Leadership Through Action: Campus Leaders commit to applying what they learn through advocacy and community-building efforts on their campuses, gaining hands-on leadership experience that translates directly to future roles.

  • Explore Academic Credit Opportunities: Interested in earning academic credit? WomenX can work with you and your institution to align your Fellowship experience with internship, externship, or elective credit requirements, where applicable.
