Society of Women Engineers Expands Scholarship Program

SAN DIEGO - EntSun -- Since 1950, the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) has strived to increase the number of women choosing to enter the engineering and technology fields, to help them excel professionally, and to showcase and value their achievements. Their programs include:

• SWE Global Scholarships. The SWE Scholarship Program provides financial assistance to those preparing for careers in engineering, technology, and computer science.
• SWENext High School Leadership Academy (SHLA). SHLA is a virtual, year-round program for high school students interested in pursuing engineering and technology degrees.
• Community College Women of Color Pathways Research. This program encourages undergraduate women of color who are pursuing STEM graduate degrees.
• Collegiate Leadership Institute (CLI). CLI equips collegiate SWE members with the skills, knowledge, and leadership abilities that will enable them to become leaders in their engineering and technology careers.

Funding for these programs was provided by an $318,000 grant from Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC), a private foundation that supports not only innovative amateur radio projects, but diversity and equity in engineering.
