Women for STEM
Empowering the next generation of women leaders
Ontario Tech University's Women for STEM program provides opportunities for women students to fulfill their potential in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)-based fields.
Women for STEM is built on three pillars to engage and empower women:
- Career Readiness programming for students.
- Scholarships for women in STEM programs.
- Celebrations that provide industry leaders with opportunities to network and connect with students and each other while supporting our efforts to increase access and success for women students studying in STEM disciplines.
Launched in 2019, Our goal is to raise $2 million dollars to provide 200 entrance scholarships and 600 in-course scholarships to Ontario Tech students over 10 years.
Ontario Tech understands the benefits of supporting women in STEM. Together with our donors, we are providing the tools and support which empower women to succeed in tech and beyond.
