Jean R. Beers Scholarship Program
The Connecticut Section of SWE invites students to submit an application
for our Jean R. Beers Scholarship. The Connecticut Section offers
tuition-based scholarships of $1500 for qualified women undergraduate students
who will be attending colleges or universities in the Fall of 2004 to pursue
baccalaureate degrees in Engineering, Mathematics, Computers or Science.
The scholarship award is made for the Fall semester of 2004. The Scholarship
recipient will need to submit proof of her acceptance to enroll in the degree
program specified for the Fall semester of 2004 prior to receiving the monetary
award.
Applications are evaluated based on scholastic achievement, extracurricular
activities (including work experience, volunteer efforts and other activities
with emphasis on demonstrated leadership), and a personal essay. Attention
is also given to individual financial need and completeness of the application.
All application materials (application, essay, and transcript) must be
postmarked no later than January 15, 2004. The recipient will be notified
in February 2004. The Scholarship recipient will be invited to attend a
local SWE Connecticut Section Scholarship Award Banquet meeting scheduled
for March 20, 2004 where she will be formally presented with the award.
