(Renfrew, Ontario): The Canadian Engineering Memorial Foundation (CEMF) is thrilled to announce a new and exciting partnership has been formed with a leading Canadian engineering firm, Hatch.
Together, with sponsorship from Hatch, a $10,000 scholarship supporting Canadian women in engineering has been created. The Hatch Engineering Award will be provided to a self-identifying female studying engineering full-time in a Quebec accredited engineering undergraduate program.
Along with the other annual scholarships managed by CEMF, the annual recipient of the Hatch Engineering Award will be a leader in her community, a dedicated volunteer and an active participant in extra-curricular activities. She will be selected based on her strength as an ambassador for engineering and Hatch.
“We are very pleased to partner with Hatch, a Canadian leader in consulting engineering in the fields of metals, energy and infrastructure,” said CEMF President Julie Lassonde, of the announcement. “Their partnership demonstrates their important commitment to providing support for women in engineering.”
“For over 60 years we have supported engineering students, academia, and our technical profession in every region that we operate”, said John Bianchini, Hatch’s CEO. “Our support of the CEMF represents our ongoing commitment to growing and diversifying our Canadian engineering expertise”.
The deadline to apply for the 2018 Hatch Award is February 25, 2018. Criteria and guidelines in English and French are posted at www.cemf.ca. Please note this award is only open to students enrolled in Quebec universities.
