Jane M Klausman Women in Business Scholarship
Profile and Committee
A wonderful opportunity to empower womens business careers
Status: January 2023
Women have made great strides in the pursuit of education, careers and leadership roles they were once denied. However, they still comprise a minority of leaders in the business world. As of December 2020, 21.2% of S&P 500 companies’ board seats are occupied by women, and just 6% of the companies' CEOs are women
Zonta International believes in gender equality
This is why the Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship (WiB) program helps women pursue undergraduate and master's degrees in business management and overcome gender barriers from the classroom to the boardroom.
As a Zonta club you can contribute to this result by:
- tracing one (or more) talented student(s)
- who is (at least) in the second year of her bachelor’s degree or following a master’s program
- and who specializes on a business-related subject within the study program (such as Management, Organization, MBA, Public Administration, Economics, Business Law)

Area 01 offers 'Women in Business Award'
Many years ago the Area 01 voted for a 1.000 euro award of the year’s best candidate from our Area behind the District winners. Almost every year there is thus one candidate to be «consoled» by our Area award when shed id not succeed to be District winner.
In 2022 it is Josefina Sonnerup, a brilliant Swedish student who is pursuing her studies in Paris and now Madrid with an amazingly creative profile of technical innovation experience. She was supported by the Zonta Club of Madrid km0.
