Women for STEM Fund
What is the Women for STEM Fund?
The Women for STEM Fund is an opportunity for women students to fulfil their potential in innovative science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)-based fields which currently have the lowest female enrollment at Ontario Tech.
This fall, we welcomed our third group of 20 Women for STEM Scholarship recipients. Each received a $5,000 entrance award. And our second and third scholarship recipients began their second year, receiving a $2,000 scholarship which continues for years 3 and 4.
There are naming opportunities for the Women for STEM entrance and in-course scholarships. Gifts of any amount to the scholarship fund are greatly appreciated. Thanks to the Board of Governors Matching Fund your donation will be matched, until the fund is fully subscribed, doubling the impact of your gift!
Each cohort of Women for STEM award recipients will also be paired with a mentor in their third year.
Double the impact of your gift. Give now and your donation will be matched by the Board of Governors' Matching Fund. Matching fund available until fully subscribed. All donations will receive a charitable tax receipt for original value of gift. Charitable Business Number #85924 8049 RR0001.
