Support Our Scholarship Program

The Mt. Diablo Section of SWE is asking for contributions for our 2012 Scholarship Fund. Since 1984, our section has given scholarships to deserving young women entering an accredited engineering program. Last year we were able to award three $1000 scholarships to women entering college with donations from members and corporate sponsors. Our goal this year is to again give at least three $1000 scholarships. We can only accomplish this with your support. Please encourage your company to support our program also. These scholarships make a difference to our future women engineers.

Thanks to all who donated to the scholarship program including 3 corporate sponsors: Shell Oil, Chevron, and Clorox! We were able to award 3 scholarships this year. Congratulations to Julian Cook, Erin Araj and Allian Roman for being the 2011 Mt. Diablo SWE Scholarship recipients! These young ladies were well deserving and were chosen to receive the award among 16 applicants by a committee of SWE members. Juliana attended Northgate High School in Walnut Creek and will be majoring in Chemical Engineering. Erin is from Carondelet and will be majoring in Bioengineering. Allian is a junior college transfer student who attended Los Medanos College. She is going to study Mechanical Engineering. Congratulations to these wonderful scholarship recipients! And thanks again to all the generous donors who give to this program every year!
