The Minnesota Section of the Society of Women Engineers is pleased to announce our 2005 Corporate Partner Scholarship Program!!
In addition to our own SWE-MN Section Scholarship, we hope to offer additional scholarships in conjunction with corporations, in order to further our objective of helping as many women as possible pursue successful engineering careers. Last year due to our Corporate Partner Scholarship Program, we were able to award two corporate funded scholarships in the amounts of $1,000 (MTS Systems Corporation) and $1,500 (Ecolab) in addition to our own SWE-MN $1,000 scholarship.
� The Corporation commits to sponsoring a $1,000 (or greater) scholarship for Fall Semester 2005 by making a donation in the amount of the scholarship to the Minnesota SWE Section before November 15, 2004.
� Publicized to engineering colleges and universities in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota in December 2004.
� SWE-MN will collect applications and evaluate candidates per the specified criteria. There are no administrative fees associated with our program; 100% of your donation goes to the student.
� The student applications are due March 15, 2005 and recipients will be notified by May 1, 2005 with the scholarships issued for Fall Semester 2005.
� The corporation will have the option to contact the recipient of their corporate scholarship in order to explore internships or employment possibilities with this high potential engineer.
� The corporate sponsorship will be publicized in our Section newsletter, on our Section website, on the activities website for our SWE region, and in the promotional mailing announcing the scholarships.
We thank Ecolab and MTS Systems Corporation for their support and participation in the 2004 Corporate Partner Scholarship Program!
