OUR PROGRAMSThe Women in Natural Science (WINS) Program is an exciting program that empowers young women to become leaders and productive citizens through the power of science education.
Young women with a major in Chemistry have established a project whereby they make visits to three high schools in Monrovia, Liberia and meet with girls in grades 9th to 12th to assist them with science home assignments; to talk to them about careers in science; and to distribute educational aids provided by the Ward Fund, including notebooks, pens, pencils, etc. The university young women receive a small annual stipend to help with transportation and lunch.

The Ward Fund provides scholarships to students pursuing a degree in Chemistry. Students receive full or partial scholarships depending on their needs and their ability to maintain a certain Grade Point Average.
Internships are provided for first year graduates from the Department of Chemistry to help them make the transition into the world of work. The interns return to the university campus to provide tutoring services to students who are scoring below a passing grade in chemistry. READ MORE...
