Women in Engineering Endowed Scholarship

The Women in Engineering Endowed Scholarship was established in 2019 by College of Engineering Women in Engineering Advisory Council members, alumni, and friends. The scholarship description was revised in 2024.

The Women in Engineering program was formed in 1993 with a focus on ensuring women are equally represented in the engineering workforces, and that hard-working students eager to learn and change the world are fully aware of their capabilities. The program also focuses on supporting the College of Engineering and Polymer Science’s mission on student recruiting and student success, especially women in both undergraduate and graduate programs. Members of the Council work diligently, forming strategic partnerships for the Women in Engineering Program, as well as with campus-wide departments, the community and industry.
