AWSN supports diversity in STEM.  Our 2017-2018 scholarship application is now closed for applicants and the winner will be announced shortly.

AWSN Scholarship - $3000

Deadline for complete application submission is June 1, 2017

Eligibility criteria:

1. Are you a minority student who is continuing full time undergraduate studies entering your third or fourth year of an undergraduate program in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (a gender minority in a traditionally male/female dominated program - for example a young woman studying engineering or a young man in nursing) at an Alberta university, college, or technical institute?

2. Have you demonstrated STEM leadership in the academic or community setting?

If the answer to both questions above is a resounding YES then we invite you to apply for the AWSN scholarship.

How to apply:

For making an online application, go to

www.awsn.org/scholarship-application

and follow the instructions there.  If you are a finalist, we may request that you send a sealed transcript from your institution of study.  

If you are not able to apply online, please send the following:

1. An official transcript sealed by the registrar of your university or other institution.
2. Your CV (Please note: a CV is curriculum vitae: "A special type of resume traditionally used within the academic community. Unlike a resume, a CV tends to be longer and more informational than promotional in tone".)
3. One page (single-spaced 12 pt font in Times New Roman) essay on your leadership.
4. One letter of reference that speaks to this demonstrated leadership (please have the letter of reference in a sealed envelope with a signature across the seal).
