Mission Statement
The Fresno Women’s Network was founded in 1987 as a way for women to support each other in business, personal, and professional growth. Members are encouraged to build relationships, mentor one another, and give back to the community.

The Fresno Women’s Network has awarded over 100 scholarships to deserving students from the Central Valley continuing their education. We are excited to have the opportunity to award additional scholarships for the 2024/2025 academic year. Applications will be
considered on the basis of demonstrated scholastic merit, community involvement, future goals and career objectives. Both men and women are invited to apply.

The Susan G. Melkonian Memorial Scholarship Fund

Each May we honor the memory and generosity of our late member, Susan Melkonian. Susan was a long time member of the Network who left us a bequest upon her death. At our June luncheon, one of our scholarship receipients will be awarded the special scholarship named in Susan’s honor. We are able to provide these scholarships because of the good hearts and passion of our members to help others.
