District 4

Awards (Education)

Promoting Education

Building Our future

District 4 and our clubs promote gender equality in education to further develop a pool of talented women for the future that men traditionally dominate. To address gaps, our District supports four programs for women and girls pursuing education and careers in aerospace sciences and engineering, business and business management, and public affairs. We proudly announce that the Women in STEM scholarship pilot program will continue and encourage women to pursue leadership roles in STEM programs.

Many clubs offer financial awards and scholarships to enable young women to further their pursuit of higher education, but it is unnecessary to sponsor an application at the District level.
