Helping 75 Women of Color Owned Businesses
BUILD, MANAGE, and GROW their companies.
The UBS x Luminary Fellowship Program was created in 2021 to support businesses owned or founded by women of color. We are pleased to offer the program again in 2024 and so excited to announce a new cohort of Fellows for 2024!
More than 5.4 million businesses are majority-owned by women of color in the U.S., employing over 2.1 million people and generating roughly $361 billion in revenues annually. Women of color owned businesses are the fastest growing group of entrepreneurs in the US! Yet, the odds are stacked against these business owners, including lack of capital and funding to racial biases and lack of representation to the need for stronger networks and connections. Submit your application below!
The UBS Fellowship program gives Fellows access to Luminary’s extensive global community, introductions, workshops, coaching, mentoring and business resources for growth.
Fellows also receive best-in-class thought leadership and insights from UBS including access to the extensive resources of the UBS Women’s Wealth and Business Owners platforms and accompanying Own Your Worth / Financial Participation educational content for women.
Applications are Now Open Through June 28th
* Please note that this Fellowship Program has been created for Women of Color Owned or Founded Businesses (at least 51% ownership).
* You must be at least 18 years of age or older to apply.
* Only one application per business will be reviewed.
* Luminary has sole decision-making discretion over determining which applications will be accepted into the program. UBS has no involvement in the Fellowship decision-making process.
