Entries for the Engineer Girl Writing Contest are now accepted. Three categories of the contests are availavle; elementary school, middle school and high school students. Each category will have three winners.
Scholarship Description
Launched in 2001, Simil Raghavan and Mary Mathias started the Engineer Girl website in order to bring attention to the amazing opportunities open to women engineers. While more women are entering the engineering field, they are underrepresented in the field. Perhaps you are asking why does this matter? Having a greater number of women in engineering encourages diversity of thought, which ultimately leads to innovation. Economic growth is driven by that innovation, which ultimately makes for a better future for all of us.
