Scholarships
2017 STEM Scholarship recipients: Kyama Bradley, Cassandra Rowland, Kaitlyn Ejde, Miriam Molotsky, Sydney Brown, Abbygael Weller, Katrina Love
From Michael Kubec UWF:
“We listened to the stories of a remarkable group of young women who were in equal parts inspiring, impressive, accomplished, and grateful. While the amount we were able to give away in scholarships, $54,800, was the highest ever, even more moving was the frequent comment by the recipients regarding the support of AAUW PT members. They value tremendously the fact that behind the dollar amount is an educated, talented group of women who are rooting for them and who care. That theme was also heard from the many family members in attendance to support the scholars. Every member of AAUW PT can take pride in the accomplishments of this group. As one of our awardees said to me, “You are all awesome!”
