InnovateHER Engineering Scholarship
There are many female-identifying students who are called to work in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, yet the fields remain heavily male-dominated.
A lack of societal encouragement combined with isolating classrooms, daunting workplaces, and the financial burdens of college tuition have led many women to turn away from the STEM fields. When women are underrepresented, the field loses out on their important voices and their contributions to progress and innovation. This gender imbalance is reinforced year by year as rising female students suffer from a lack of mentors.
This scholarship aims to support the future generation of women in STEM so they can enter the field and make their mark.
Any female high school senior with non-profit or volunteering experience may apply for this scholarship opportunity if she is pursuing engineering with at least a 3.5 GPA.
To apply, write a short essay telling us how you’ve made an impact on your community through leadership experience and how you want to further impact your community through engineering.
