Our community
FOR WOMEN IN SCIENCE
As a company that believes in good corporate citizenship, L’Oréal is dedicated to contribute to projects that serve the wider community and that reflect the values we have upheld for almost a century. In every country where we do business, we support projects that contribute to the community at large through philanthropy and long-term partnerships. These local initiatives reflect our longstanding dedication to such worthy causes as promoting women in science, community solidarity and educational opportunity.
The most symbolic and notable example of L’Oréal’s societal commitment is the international corporate program “For Women in Science”, launched in partnership with UNESCO in 1998. The Awards, launched in 1998, annually identify five established women scientific researchers from around the world as Laureates, and grant 15 international fellowships to promising young women scientists at doctoral or post-doctoral levels. Since its creation, the For Women in Science program has recognized the past and potential achievements of well over 111 women scientists from more than 59 countries around the world involved in the life and material sciences. To address the country-specific barriers to women entering careers in scientific research, L’Oreal in cooperation with UNESCO National Commissions has established a program of National Initiatives as offshoots of the program. Here in the U.S. L’Oréal USA has established a fellowship program that provides $60,000 grants to five fellows on annual basis.
NY COALITION OF 100 BLACK WOMEN
Since 1979, over 800 young women have participated in the Coalition’s Role Model Program. The goal of the Role Model program is to provide Black female students with a realistic understanding of their chosen professions. The young women also develop social and professional etiquette, and build friendships that are needed to effectively compete in today’s workforce.
Since 1999 L’Oréal has given the Coalition a grant that has enabled them to expand the program beyond the borough of Manhattan to Brooklyn and Queens.
L’ORÉAL SOFTSHEEN-CARSON SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
In keeping with the Group’s commitment as a champion of education and diversity, the L’Oréal SoftSheen-Carson Scholarship Fund was established in 2002. Its purpose is to assist young African Americans who attend selected Historical Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), achieve their dream of a higher education.
The program will recognize African American students who have demonstrated significant academic achievements during their years in high school. These students must also have shown outstanding leadership qualities as indicated by their participation in school and community activities.
The L’Oréal SoftSheen-Carson Scholarships in the amount of up to $10,500 will be awarded each year to qualifying freshmen year students entering a designated HBCU in the fall. Each scholarship is renewable for three years or completion of their bachelors degree, which ever comes first. Qualifying students are selected by the schools to apply for the scholarship funds.
The affiliate HBCU schools are:
• Dillard University
• Florida A&M
• Hampton University
• Morehouse College
• North Carolina A&T
• Spellman College
• Xavier University
A selecting committee comprised of key L’Oréal USA officers is responsible for reviewing all applications and making final selections each year.
