WOMEN IN ENGINEERING MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
This scholarship has been established to commemorate the sudden and
tragic deaths of fourteen women at L'Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal
on December 6, 1989. Thirteen of the women who died so violently were
pursuing studies in engineering, historically a non-traditional field
for women. It is hoped this annual $2,500.00 scholarship will
encourage more women to study and work in this profession, thereby
increasing the contribution of women to engineering and scientific
endeavours. Funding support is provided by the Faculty of Engineering
& Applied Science, C-CORE, Memorial University of Newfoundland
Alumni Association and individual contributions. This award is tenable
at Memorial University of Newfoundland to female students regardless of
age, who are entering the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.
To be eligible, applicants must demonstrate a commitment to the
advancement of women in Engineering fields and an active involvement in
wider issues of social concern to women, as well as sound scholastic
ability. The committee may also consider applications from female
students already enrolled in Engineering studies, provided they meet
the eligibility criteria above. A special committee, consisting of
representatives from the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science,
C-CORE, Memorial University of Newfoundland’s Alumni Association,
Women's Studies and Women in Science and Engineering meets annually to
consider applications for this scholarship. The award will be made by
the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships and Financial Aid on
the recommendation of this committee.
