Women’s Independence Scholarship Program, Inc. (WISP)

WISP is the Women’s Independence Scholarship Program, founded by Doris Buffett.

“On July 1, 2008 WISP, Inc. emerged as a stand-alone organization with a mission to enhance efforts toward economic justice by offering a means to help survivors of intimate partner abuse access higher education. WISP is available nationally to women who have left an abusive intimate partner relationship and who are pursuing an education with the goal of providing economic independence for themselves and their children.” ~wispinc.org/history

New applications are accepted twice per year:

I am honored to be a WISP graduate!!!

The skills that I learned while earning my secondary degree are what led me to start the @gina_hope_light_love Instagram blog and then move it over here to the Gina Hamilton website.

The WISP organization and the people who run it are such a blessing! 🙏🏼🌟💜
