Support equity in doctoral education amid mounting challenges to DEI

With DEI programs under increasing threat, your support today ensures that historically excluded doctoral students, especially Black women, can continue their academic journey with the mentorship, resources, and community they need.

Our EIN is 861674110. Your donation is tax-deductible as permitted by law, and you will receive a receipt for your records.

In a time when DEI programs in higher education are under increasing scrutiny and restriction, it’s more important than ever to ensure that historically underrepresented scholars receive the support they need. Your contribution to Cohort Sistas directly counteracts these setbacks, helping us build an equitable future that reflects the diversity of our society.

100% of your donation supports the academic, professional, financial, and mental well-being of historically excluded doctoral students, applicants, and early-career researchers.
