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.
Each year, CEMF offers one $15,000 scholarship in Canada to a woman enrolled fulltime in a graduate engineering program at the PhD. level. This scholarship is meant to encourage women to pursue their career path in engineering and recognize the valuable contribution they bring to society through research, teaching and community
involvement.
Applicants must be willing to act as role models and to promote engineering, particularly to young women. The scholarship recipient will be required to make at least two presentations to students in their first year of university, preferably before they have chosen a specific discipline.
Along with the financial award, there are many other great reasons for applying for this scholarship:
Promotion and Recognition. Those selected for a CEMF scholarship are featured in an annual Winners Brochure with a biography and photo distributed nationally, an individualized press release sent to the National Media, professional engineering associations, the recipient’s university and community media. As well, the winners’ names, photos, university and year of receiving the scholarship
are prominently promoted on the website. Throughout the year, winners are promoted through a variety of public relation methods from posters to media interviews.
Career Networking and Travel Opportunities. The winner will be invited to attend the CEMF Awards Luncheon to be presented with their award. This event is held at the AGM of Engineers Canada at various national locations. Travel and accommodation will be provided, and the winners are given an opportunity to meet and socialize with prominent members of the industry and leaders in engineering innovation. As well, the CEMF Board of Directors is made up of professional engineers who are available to advice and/or mentor winners in pursuing a successful career.
Recipients Can Use the Monies in Any Capacity. Unlike many other scholarships, CEMF does not require scholarship winners to apply the award to tuition, books or academic costs. Rather, scholarships are geared to helping students stay in engineering and can be used in any capacity the student requires – from living expenses to child care.
A Focus on the Future. Scholarship recipients act as ambassadors to the field of engineering and serve as role models for other young women to encourage them
o become professional engineers.
A Scholarship for Leaders. While recognizing academic excellence is important, the Claudette MacKay-Lassonde Scholarship is not awarded based on academiachievement. Rather, the focus is on female students who are proven leaders in their community and who have dedicated time to extra-curricular activities and volunteerism while serving as a role model to others.
