The Scholarship Program strives to encourage and reward aspiring women
scientists pursuing their degrees in San Diego colleges and universities in
science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
 
The scholarships, now in their 14th year, are awarded annually and have
supported community college, undergraduate, and graduate women in San
Diego County pursuing their degrees, conducting research projects, or assisting
with additional educational expenses, with an emphasis on STEM fields where
women are underrepresented. The fields of study of past scholarship recipients
have included: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Engineering,
Mathematics and Experimental Psychology. Each recipient receives a $1000
Scholarship Award.
 
Eligibility: Female students actively engaged in a degree program in the 2012-
2013 academic year may apply. Applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.0
and must be affiliated with an institute of higher learning (College and above) in
San Diego County. The award can be used for educational expenses including
tuition, books, housing, or research.
 
The deadline for the 2012-2013 Scholarship application has passed.
 
Applicants will receive an e-mail confirming receipt of a completed application
approximately 2-3 weeks following the application deadline. Scholarship
recipients will be notified by the end of April 2013.

 
2013 Scholarship receipts will be honored at the AWIS Women in Science and
Technology (WIST) conference (May 18, 2013 at the UCSD Faculty Club).
