As I am writing this blog post, International Women’s Day is ending. Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could get the remaining $3800 in the next few months? We are getting so close to having SWE’s first endowed scholarship for women pursuing a STEM career via Community College!! I think Josie would be so excited that she helped inspire this scholarship and be touched by all the people who contributed: from spreading the word to donating to the cause and getting other people to donate. Please help us keep the momentum going and blaze another trail for other women to become engineers.
For more details about the scholarship and other programs honoring Josie, please see our other blog posts and check back every few months to see our progress on the
SWE Detroit Online Blog.
Separate from SWE Detroit’s Member Solicitation Program, the following categories created based on Josie’s favorite hiking trails* will be used to acknowledge the support of those who wish to contribute to the scholarship.

Jackson Hole $ 750 to $ 999
Mount Roberts $ 500 to $ 749
Dog Mountain $ 250 to $ 499
