The goal of the iWIST scholarship is to provide financial support to individuals identifying as a woman who are in their second year or above of their STEM-field studies. The iWIST scholarship fund always welcomes new donations of all sizes.
Larger, multi-year commitments to our scholarship program will be put into consideration for a named scholarship award.
