Young Women in STEM Scholarship

Deadline:

Mar 1

Description:

Women in STEM make up 27% of the STEM workforce, despite women workers as a whole making up 48% of the workforce. 

Over the past fifty years, efforts have been made to increase female representation in STEM. The efforts have thus far been successful, but now is not the time to let up on this progress. Women are being encouraged to pursue STEM more now than ever before.

  • Education Level: High school senior or undergraduate
