Winner – SJSEO STEM Scholarship for Women

“Since I was young, I have had a growing passion for science. I am honored to have received this scholarship which will help fund my tuition for the upcoming semester at Duquesne University. After I graduate from my program with a Master’s Degree in Forensic Science and Law I plan to become a DNA analyst. I hope that with my career I may not only aid in the pursuit of justice but also represent women in STEM proudly.”

“This scholarship will be a great assistance to me as I head off to Howard University. Although I received an academic scholarship, there is still a funding gap that I am looking to fill through outside scholarships and this really helps. I am so excited that this scholarship will aid me in making my dream of graduating from Howard University with a degree in biology come true. It is a necessary step toward my ultimate goal of attending medical school, becoming an OB-GYN, and opening a women’s health clinic in an under-served community.”

“I am honored to receive this scholarship which will go towards funding my second year at the University of Delaware in the Chemical Engineering Department. On campus I will be taking my academic classes as well as working in an electrochemistry laboratory and serving on the board of the University’s chapters of Engineers Without Borders and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. My goal is to develop better energy storage solutions using electrochemical methods so renewable energy can be used consistently and reliably. Additionally, I want to help bring renewable energy to developing countries so all people around the world have access to dependable and clean power. This scholarship will allow for me to better focus on my classes so that I can run towards my goals.”

“After getting into my dream college a month ago I recognized that my life is about to go through major changes as I move away and begin my education to become a software engineer. Winning this scholarship give is life changing because it allows me not only pay for college, but helps me to fund all of my dreams that come after. Having the financial stability to support myself through is one of the most important things to me right now and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to use this scholarship and continue my education at Brigham Young University as I work towards my goals in engineering.”

“I’m excited to be the winner of the 2019 South Jersey SEO STEM Scholarship for women! I will be putting the money toward my first tuition payment at Stevens Institute of Technology. In August 2019, I will be entering school there and majoring in Engineering Management. It is my hope to empower people to get involved in STEM education and to provide support for young girls entering the field.”

“This amazing scholarship will be used to help fund my Fall 2018 semester at UC Riverside, where I will be majoring in undecided life sciences, as well as playing D1 soccer. My immediate goals are to become more involved with my community as in volunteering more at the animal shelter and make connections in my field at UCR. I want to graduate in four years without debt, with the help of this scholarship. As an incoming freshman I do not have a clear path in mind yet, but I hope to either become a zoologist or possibly branch out into the health field as a dietician.”

“My ultimate goal is to become a Pediatrician. Three short term goals are to 1. get involved with children’s research at IU and 2. get into a Pre-Med summer program for 2018, and 3. achieve as high of a GPA this school year as possible. This scholarship will be put towards my Fall 2017 semester at Indiana University, where I will be taking 15 credit hours of academics, researching in a psychology lab, volunteering at MiddleWay house, and staying involved with clubs on campus. I am really excited to see how my academics and campus involvement further me towards my career this year.”
