“Period poverty is a problem that has a negative downstream impact on entire communities, and needs to be solved if we want a healthy, equitable world. I'm deeply passionate about ensuring that no student has to compromise their future because they can't afford basic menstrual care. At Cora, we're committed to making a difference, and the Change the Cycle Scholarship is our next step in empowering students to lead the fight for period equity in their own communities.” - Molly Hayward, Founder of Cora.
Cora wants to support the next generation of activists who are working to alleviate period poverty in their communities. This $10,000 scholarship will be awarded to three individuals dedicated to providing the period care access and education necessary for everyone to thrive. Because it's 2024 and no one should have to choose between paying for textbooks or tampons.
Stress overwhelms and impacts over 71% of college students-from loans to exams to the inflated cost of living. Adding to this stress, over 24% of college students have experienced period poverty in the past year*-or lack of regular access to menstrual products. While these students are worried about finals or interviewing for a life-changing job, they're also weighing the cost of tampons. Luckily, there are activists across college campuses who are combating this added layer of student stress-and Cora is here to support their efforts.
The Change the Cycle Scholarship winners will be announced by the following selection committee:
Kayla Greaves, JOURNALIST, BEAUTY EXPERT AND HOST
Clémentine Desseaux, CREATIVE ENTREPRENEUR AND ACTIVIST
Nkechi Njaka, NEUROSCIENTIST, ARTIST, MINDFULNESS EXPERT
Jhumka Gupta, ScD, PROFESSOR AT GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY
Molly Hayward, FOUNDER & CHIEF BRAND OFFICER AT CORA
Kani Romain, DIRECTOR OF INNOVATION AT CORA
Through this campaign, Cora has partnered with Scholarships , who has more than 16 million registered users, to help promote the scholarship to students across the country.
