About SWE Scholarships

The SWE Scholarship Program provides financial assistance to women admitted to accredited baccalaureate or graduate programs, in preparation for careers in engineering, engineering technology and computer science. In fiscal year 2009, SWE disbursed more than 180 new and renewed scholarships valued at $470,000.

Grants are announced in the summer (sophomore, junior, senior and graduate students) and late summer/early fall (freshmen and reentry students) for use during the following academic year. Grant payments are made in the fall for corporate-sponsored scholarships and in both the fall and spring for endowed scholarships, upon proof of registration.

Accredited programs are based on ABET accreditation for universities in the U.S. The list of SWE-approved colleges and universities is the same list as the ABET-accredited engineering programs.

We are proud to announce our first international scholarship! This scholarship will be awarded to an upperclass student studying at a university in the Querétaro, Querétaro, Mexico. There are several SWE-approved programs at four universities.
