It is time once again for Women in Electronics to request applications from candidates for our 2016 scholarship program! The Atlanta Chapter of Women in Electronics is in its 31st year and in that time we have awarded more than $258,000 to local colleges, universities and charitable organizations.
WIE scholarships are awarded to female students majoring in electronics, engineering, computer science, information technology or related fields. Scholarships are awarded based on Academic Excellence as well as Financial Need, Community/School Involvement and Personal Achievement. Scholarships are paid to the Financial Aid Department of the educational institution. The monetary awards are intended to lower the student’s financial aid balances when they exist.
Please refer qualified candidates for consideration. The following information is required and must be submitted by each candidate by March 7, 2015
1. Transcripts (unofficial is acceptable)
2. Financial Data (loan balances, other scholarships, etc.)
3. A 2016 WIE scholarship application completed in its entirety. The application is available on our website: www.wieatlanta.org. Also, see attached application.
Personal interviews with the selected candidates will be scheduled for April 13 starting at 1:00 PM. These interviews will be conducted at the office of Johnson & Bryan, 1575 Northside Dr, Atlanta, GA 30318. The selected student(s) will be notified via email of their scheduled interview time.
Both the student candidate(s) and their advisor(s) will be notified of our decisions via email on or before
May 1.
All Scholarship Recipients are requested to be in attendance to personally accept their academic scholarship at our Annual Scholarship Award and Sponsor Appreciation Night Dinner Banquet, May 12 at Berkeley Hills Country Club, 2300 Pond Road, Duluth, GA 30096. We also encourage the student advisors to attend as well. WIE will provide complimentary dinners for the student, two guests, and the advisor.
