A woman is the epitome of strength and resilience, symbolization of the perfect balances of senses and a unique power to endure the best and the worst of life. To understand a woman is difficult, but yet the most difficult part is to comprehend how she leads her life taking care of each and every aspect, giving attention to all the minute details, of her family, her friends and all those who are close to her. Women trying to make their mark in the professional front, juggle their careers and their family life and still try to achieve single-handedly the bitter-sweet taste of success, which bestows her the tinge of joy. The National Association of Professional Women aims at providing a sound network system to working women as a platform to exchange ideas, and interact with each other on different issues and seek advices and support.

National Association of Professional Women or NAPW is developing into a network with a strong foundation and abounds with resources, services, advancement and career movements to develop women’s careers. NAPW is progressing into a full-fledged networking site broadcasting podcasts, keynote speeches, seminars, webinars and skills required for career enhancements with the only purpose of helping women to climb up the career ladders in their respective professions. NAPW is proud to have provided a diverse yet global forum exclusively dedicated to urge women from compatible backgrounds to come together to discuss and create relationships on personal, social and professional grounds.

NAPW does not only restrict to the networking aspect which even though is an important factor yet does not complete the entire meaning of why the forum h
as been organized. NAPW has been pushing itself still further and has been joining hands with charitable institutions that are very much concerned about women’s problems and issues, and understands the power enclosed in the folds of knowledge. They understand that it is not only important to celebrate the success of career women but also to promote those women who earnestly want to grow into real professionals in their career fronts. It is for this reason that NAPW has taken up the matter with sheer dedication and has decided to support five young women each year by providing financial aid of $1,000 to each of them, to ensure that the future generation of the womankind is not affected due to the lack of finances. The NAPW Rising Stars Education Scholarship is modeled in such a way so as to provide a medium for future career-oriented women to realize their educational goals and to encourage them to become professionally challenged so as to strive ahead to reach their career goals.

NAPW has specifically organized the Rising Stars Education Scholarship Program as an effort to support the daughters of the NAPW members, who need support and guidance to excel at their respective fields. It is strictly limited to applicants below 23 years of age who are either high-school seniors or enrolled for an undergraduate program and should possess a minimum of 3.5 GPA at the High school level and a GPA of 3.2 at the College level.

It is interesting to note that NAPW is intensely concerned about the growth of professional women and by providing this extra-ordinary network service, it not only offers the right information and direction but also helps women with similar backgrounds to come together and develop a bond both on the personal and professional fronts to understand the realities of the professional world.
