Soaring Together

Investing in the Impact of Lehigh Women

In 2021, Lehigh launched Soaring Together as a celebration of 50 years of coeducation and its impact. Since then, Soaring Together has represented the university’s commitment to building a welcoming community where everyone can thrive. Through philanthropy, you can honor the trailblazing women of Lehigh and their impact, while supporting the success of Lehigh today and tomorrow. 

Initiatives include:

  • The Soaring Together Scholarship Program
  • Soaring Together Impact Funds
  • The Lehigh Fund and the Women of Lehigh Scholarship Fund
  • Experiential Learning Opportunities
  • Endowed Faculty Chairs
  • Graduate Student Fellowships
  • Research
  • Mentorship and Engagement Opportunities
  • And many more....

Soaring Together is an exceptional way to recognize the trailblazing women of Lehigh and their impact, while supporting the success of the Lehigh women of today and tomorrow.

Support for Lehigh Women

Every gift that upholds, celebrates, and supports Lehigh women makes a difference. There are myriad ways to invest in our community of female-identifying students and faculty and the programs that support them. These areas range from experiential learning to faculty support; endowed faculty chairs; graduate student fellowships; research funds to support undergraduates, graduates, or faculty; and more.

Soaring Together Scholarships are more than financial aid. They provide students with full-tuition undergraduate merit scholarships, regardless of need. Program participants participate in hands-on learning experiences, funded through a Soaring Together Impact Fund grant or another Lehigh source. Donors and the entire Soaring Together Scholar cohort interact and engage through customizable, creative events. You can support Lehigh’s signature scholarship program with a gift of $500,000 or more.
