Apply Now for Dallas SWE Scholarships!

by Dallas SWE on in Collegiate, Outreach

Dallas SWE encourages young women to pursue mathematics, sciences and engineering programs and get engaged early in technical fields. To recognize women early on and motivate them to stay and continually learn, Dallas SWE offers scholarships and certificates. Applications are now being accepted for the Society of Women Engineers Certificate and High School and Collegiate Scholarship programs! Some of the program highlights are below. We encourage you to visit dallaswe.org/scholarships to obtain Scholarship and Certificate information and forms.

High school scholarships are awarded to female high school seniors who will be majoring in engineering. Applications are due by April 15th. Scholarships vary from $500 to $1000.

Collegiate scholarships are awarded to SWE collegiate section members who have demonstrated leadership skills by organizing or leading activities for their section that will be sustained after their graduation. Scholarships are awarded to the member and the SWE collegiate section. Applications are due by April 30th.

Certificates are awarded to middle or high school students who excel in science and mathematics with distinction or for an engineering related activity, such as a science fair project or a technical paper competition. Nominated students also should be active citizens in their school and community. We hope that this program will encourage the recipients to consider a future engineering career.

Please share this information with your students and educators through information found on http://www.dallaswe.org/scholarships/.  For additional information, please send an email to dallas.swe@gmail.com.

Thank you for your support. We look forward to recognizing your talented students!

Event Recap: DISD STEM Expo

by Dallas SWE on in Outreach

The DISD STEM expo was out of this world! Dallas’ largest STEM expo certainly did not disappoint. The Dallas SWE chapter was in full force, electrifying attendees with our circuit building activity. We had the opportunity to interact with several hundred attendees over the course of the full day event. With over 100 vendors present, the outreach event was certainly a success. Thanks to all of the SWEsters that showed up to support running the booth we had a blast!
