The SCTE Foundation is now accepting applications for the Catherine Oakes Memorial Leadership Scholarship for Women, an award that recognizes, rewards and provides educational opportunities for women who aspire to become leaders in cable engineering or operations.
The $3,500 scholarship, open to all women who are SCTE/ISBE members, is to be used toward registration in the Rising Leaders Program to be conducted by Women in Cable Telecommunications (WICT) in 2019. The scholarship application deadline is Sept. 14.
Oakes Scholarship applications will be reviewed by past recipients of the Women in Technology Award, which is presented annually by the SCTE/ISBE, WICT and "Cablefax." More information about the Oakes Scholarship and an application are available at https://foundation.scte.org/Foundation/Give/OakesMemorialScholarship/FOUND/Give/catherine-oakes-memorial-leadership-scholarship-for-women-fund.aspx.
Established in 2005, the SCTE Foundation is intended to increase the technical, business, and leadership skills of the telecommunications engineering workforce, attract and recruit women and minorities into engineering careers, and position the telecommunications industry as a desirable career opportunity for aspiring young people in the early stages of their careers.
