Zonta District 10 Women in STEM Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Zonta International District 10
The progress of women in the last century has dramatically increased the opportunities available to women, yet women's participation in positions of leadership in science, technology, engineering, and math continues to lag behind. "While women receive over half of bachelor’s degrees awarded in the biological sciences, they receive far fewer in the computer sciences (18.2%), engineering (19.2%), physics (19.1%), and mathematics and statistics (43.1%) (NSF, Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering, 2015)." Therefore, the goal of Zonta International Women in STEM Scholarship encourages women to pursue a higher education degree in science, technology, engineering, or math, while also encouraging leadership achievements in science, technology, engineering, and/or math and a dedication to the advancement of the status of women.
