MPOWER Women in STEM Scholarship, USA 2024-
Women in STEM award is intended for low income families and is intended to alleviate the financial burden of funding tuition fees in Texas, for female students majoring in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics) whether at a 4 year or a 2 year college.
In keeping with MPOWER’s commitment to empower high-potential global citizens to realize their educational aspirations — and become tomorrow’s leading scientists and innovators — this scholarship program focuses on women who will use their STEM degree to benefit society and the planet and who have the potential to serve as role models and advocates for women in STEM.
The National Center for Education Statistics reported that 32 percent of STEM degrees in the U.S. were awarded to women in one year. Women majoring in computer engineering, nuclear science, and software development, amongst others, should not have to find funding their dream a challenge.
In addition, the Society of Women Engineers found that gender inequities are especially pronounced in engineering and computer science, with just 20 percent of bachelor’s degrees in engineering and computer science held by women.
