Framatome will once again be funding the $500 EWS-SWE Framatome scholarship for 2020. The scholarship is awarded annually to a qualified female engineering student who has completed at least one-year of studies at an ABET accredited school with the intention to enter the field of engineering, and who resides in or attends school in Eastern Washington state. Application information for this scholarship will be coming around the end of the year, so keep watching the EWS-SWE web page for details.
Volunteers needed for Certificate of Merit Program
Since the beginning of our section, Eastern Washington Section has presented Certificates of Merit awards to recognize regional high school girls for excellence in science and mathematics. We are looking for volunteers to help in this process which involves researching information on regional high schools, contacting them about the program and soliciting their award recommendations. Afterwards the certificates are mailed out so they can be presented at graduation award ceremonies. This is a valuable program and is an easy way to Support local students. Send an email to easternwashingtonswe@gmail.com if you want to participate.
Expanding Your Horizons Committee Members needed
Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) in Science and Mathematics™ conferences nurture girls' interest in science and math courses to encourage them to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and math. Each year EWS-SWE members participate by organizing and presenting at this enriching event for middle school girls. The 2020 event will be held in the fall, a year from now. EWS needs a volunteer to participate in the planning. Send an email to easternwashingtonswe@gmail.com if you are interested.
