Building a Legacy: Fourth Year Adding a Challenge Past Presidents Endowed Scholarship Status Update

Status: Need $390 out of $2500 goal for Fiscal Year 2014  

Still need: >$3,800 + $2,500 (to support administrative costs) to meet final program goal of $25,000 for endowed scholarship.

Happy Spring! We are quickly flying through Fiscal Year 2014 (FY14) and we are doing well for this year’s program.  However, with a few months left, we still need support to meet our fourth year’s goal. We would also like to raise an additional $2,500 to support the administrative costs at SWE Headquarters (HQ). The suggested donation would go into the SWE HQ endowed fund and would generate $100 annually to ensure we have administrative support for our scholarship.   

If you know any of the past SWE Detroit Presidents, please help us communicate to them. We have found that they, like many of you, are super busy and can miss the posts and emails. So if you see them at work or outside, please tell them what you have read on the blog. As a quick reminder, anyone can donate to the fund even though our group of section past presidents have come together and taken the lead.  

To donate online: http://societyofwomenengineersdetroit.wildapricot.org/ and Select Past President Endowed Scholarship in the donation type.

To donate via check: mail the check to Society of Women Engineers – Detroit, PO Box 2978, Southfield, MI 48037
