ABC Humane Wildlife Control is currently accepting proposals for the 2021-22 Women In STEM Academic Scholarship.

At ABC Wildlife, they believe diversity is critical in every scientific field from biology to chemical engineering.

While women represent 48 percent of the American workforce, they make up only 13 percent of engineering professionals and a mere 7.2 percent in the field of mechanical engineering. Overall, women are critically underrepresented in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

As a woman-owned corporation operating in a largely male field, they understand the remarkable impact women can have. They want to pave the way for other women pursuing their dreams in the scientific world, which is why ABC Wildlife offers a scholarship designed to increase the number of women studying and influencing the future of science, including technology, engineering and math.

Award Information

One (1) award of $1,000 will be granted to the top essay submitted, and up to nine other students may receive awards for their submissions. Funds may be used for tuition, academic projects, medical expenses, housing, living expenses, transportation, or other education-related costs.
