Zonta District 10 Women in STEM Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Zonta International District 10
Description: The past century has witnessed a remarkable surge in opportunities for women. Despite this, there remains a notable gap in the representation of women in leadership roles within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). According to the "Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering 2015" report by the National Science Foundation (NSF), women earn more than half of all bachelor's degrees awarded in biological sciences. However, their representation plunges in computer sciences (18.2%), engineering (19.2%), physics (19.1%), and mathematics and statistics (43.1%). Zonta International Women in STEM Scholarship seeks to address this disparity by encouraging women to pursue higher education in STEM fields. It also promotes leadership roles in these areas while fostering a commitment to the improvement of women's status.
