Lorraine McCormick Scholarship Award

The AWIS East Bay Scholarship Program strives to encourage and reward outstanding women pursuing degrees in science fields at East Bay colleges and universities. This year we have the honor of selecting up to three $1000 Scholarship Award recipients in memory of Lorraine McCormick, the mother of Sheila McCormick, an East Bay AWIS member.

The Scholarship Program supports community college, undergraduate, and graduate student women in the East Bay CA who are pursuing degrees in science fields. Scholarship funds may be used to support the advancement of their education: e.g. to support educational expenses, for professional advancement courses, to attend a professional conference or for purchasing equipment vital for supporting research.

Female-identifying students actively engaged in a degree program in the 2020-2021 academic year may apply. Applicants must be enrolled (or accepted by) an accredited college or university in the East Bay, CA.
