Steph and Ayesha Curry are looking out for our girls!
The couple, through their foundation has launched a scholarship program for girls interested in STEM.
The Steph and Ayesha Curry Foundation will award a $30,000 scholarship annually to a young lady from the Bay area in California.

Morrison wrote a letter to Curry asking why his Under Armour sneaker collection wasn’t available for girls. Steph then collaborated with Morrison to design the Curry 6 United We Win shoe. The NBA star decided that the profits from the shoe would fund a scholarship.
We are thrilled to announce the inaugural foundation scholarship recipient, Vivian Wu. She is a senior at Oakland Tech where she boasts a 4.2 GPA and has completed 300+ hrs of community service as an advocate for marginalized communities, including survivors of domestic violence. pic.twitter.com/XE4F76a3x2
