For over 25 years, AWSN supports advocacy towards a more diverse and inclusive STEM future. We have contributed close to $2 million in the Alberta ecosystem through our programs and activities! One of the most important things AWSN does is recognize individuals that make a difference in the community and/or their STEM field.
The AWSN Scholarship Program is part of larger equity efforts within the AWSN network. Through the guidance of a gender-based analysis plus (GBA+), the program uses an intersectional lens and is structured in a way that allows AWSN to distribute the awards in an equitable manner, limiting unconscious bias, stereotypes, and other barriers commonly faced by underrepresented groups.
