The Santa Clara Valley SWE scholarship application process is open and accepting applicants. The Society of Women Engineers (SWE), founded in 1950, is a non-profit organization that supports professional and collegiate female engineers through professional development and career guidance programs. The organization has a goal to encourage more females in the field of engineering and technology through scholarships and outreach programs.
Each year we award about 5 to 10 scholarships, primarily on the basis of scholastic achievement and motivation and interest in engineering demonstrated in the application form. We would greatly appreciate if you can help us inform qualified scholarship candidates about this scholarship.
