Canada: CEMF 20th Anniversary National Scholarship for Women in Engineering

Overview

The Canadian Engineering Memorial Foundation was founded in 1990 to develop scholarship and award programs that encourage women to choose engineering as a career to honour the memory of the 14 women at École Polytechnique whose contributions to Canada ended on December 6, 1989.

In recognition of 20 years of providing engineering scholarships to Canadian women to study engineering who are leaders in their communities, a $10,000 undergraduate engineering scholarship is being offered in 2010. The winner will act as a mentor to other young women to encourage them to pursue a career in engineering. Like all CEMF scholarships this unique award is not based on academic achievement.

Applicants must be female engineering students at the undergraduate level enrolled fulltime in an accredited university engineering program at a Canadian university.

Applications that are missing required documents will be immediately disqualified.
