Women in Science
This Wednesday, May 16th, Seton Hill University will host its 19th annual Women in Science Event. Sixty-five local high school students will receive the Women in Science Award. Young women will receive their awards in Mathematics, Science, Biology and Chemistry.
For the first time, the students honored will also be eligible for the new Women in Science Scholarship at Seton Hill University. Each award recipient was nominated by a teacher at her high school. Nominating teachers, as well as the families of the awardees, will also attend Women in Science Day.
The Women in Science Scholarship is valued at $60,000 and is valid the semester following high school graduation for 8 full time consecutive semesters ($15,000/year). The Women in Science Scholarship replaces all other academic scholarships provided by Seton Hill University. Students must make academic progress and maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.5 to renew the scholarship each year.
In addition to the Women in Science Scholarship, the Division of Natural and Health Science offers a full tuition scholarship that is open to all students who apply and are eligible. The requirements are a 1350 or high combined SAT score, a high school grade point average of 3.7 or higher, honors or advanced placement coursework pertinent to the major, demonstration of leadership or community service, an additional letter of recommendation that addresses the student’s ability to excel in the field of study, and an additional essay written by the student describing her/his decision to major in the field chosen.
