Building a Legacy: Final Year - Mid-Year Update

Past Presidents Endowed Scholarship Status Update

Status: $2,010 out of $2500 goal for Fiscal Year 2015

Still need: ~$2,000 (includes supporting administrative costs) to meet final program goal of $27,500 for endowed scholarship.

Happy New Year!! We are at our halfway point in the SWE fiscal year! We are getting very close to achieving our overall goal and stretch goal of $27,500 to support an endowed scholarship and the administrative costs at SWE Headquarters (HQ). We can still use those contributions.  The HQ staff support includes verifying that the recipient is entering into an accredited University and sends the check to the University in the student’s name.  

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. Not a past SWE D president? Don’t worry, anyone can donate to the fund even though our group of section past presidents have come together and taken the lead.  

To donate online go to www.swedetroit.org and look for the Donate Button on the site for Paypal.  After you submit your information and input your donation amount, you will have the opportunity to designate your donation. Please input in the text field, “Past Presidents Endowed Scholarship or PP Scholarship” to allow it to be allocated appropriately.

To donate via check: mail the check to Society of Women Engineers – Detroit, PO Box 2978, Southfield, MI 48037 and place in the memo section “PP Scholarship”.
