She's On Her Way Award

The She's On Her Way Award, organized by the Delaware Commission for Women, recognizes the achievements and celebrates the contributions of talented young women leaders making a difference in Delaware.

All nominees must be young women between the ages of 18 and 30 by June 30, 2027. Nominees must be current Delaware residents of at least three years who exemplify integrity, leadership, and a commitment to strengthening their communities.

The Delaware Commission for Women reviews all nominations, selects the award recipients, and hosts a celebratory luncheon each June to honor the awardees.

We encourage nominations that reflect the rich diversity of Delaware's communities and experiences, including individuals from different cultural backgrounds, abilities, professions, and perspectives. By embracing this diversity, we aim to honor young women whose unique contributions strengthen and inspire our state.

The 2027 application cycle is not yet open. Please check back soon for updates and information on when nominations for the 2027, She's On Her Way Award will become available.
