JAN 31: 2014 Canadian Engineering Memorial Foundation (CEMF) Scholarship Program Deadline

With 12 scholarships, more professional development opportunities and a new scholarship partner, the Canadian Engineering Memorial Foundation (CEMF) is launching its 2014 program with unprecedented opportunities for women in engineering.

Under the leadership of newly-elected president Deborah Wolfe, P.Eng., CEMF is working with stakeholder groups on initiatives promoting women in engineering, educating students about the role of licensure and regulation, and developing more professional development opportunities to CEMF ambassadors and scholarship recipients.

All scholarship recipients are selected based on their proven leadership capabilities, extracurricular activities and ability to serve as an ambassador for CEMF and the profession in memory of the 14 women killed on December 6, 1989.
