Mission statement

The Scholarship Program strives to encourage and reward aspiring women scientists pursuing their degrees in San Diego colleges and universities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. In 2008, the San Diego Chapter of AWIS awarded $10,000 in scholarships, to women at different levels of their academic careers.  The fields of study of the scholarship winners in the past have included: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics and Experimental Psychology. We plan to award $10,000 in scholarships again in 2009. Please check back in the fall for application information.
