Support Our Scholarship Program
The Mt. Diablo Section of SWE is asking for contributions for our 2017 Scholarship Fund.  Since 1984, our section has given scholarships to deserving young women entering an accredited engineering program.  Last year we were able to award three $1000 scholarships to women entering college with donations from members and corporate sponsors.  We can only accomplish this with your support.  Please encourage your company to support our program as well.  These scholarships make a difference to our future women engineers.
