Where did 2018 go? We are nearing the halfway point to the SWE fiscal year and I’d like to give a shout out to Laurie Ramsay, who is kicking off year three of our fundraising efforts for SWE Detroit’s SWE 4 Life Endowed Scholarship Program. Thanks Laurie for being a HUGE supporter. SWE Detroit has lots of fundraising targeted toward different programs. As we are working on a handful or programs, this one is targeted toward SWE’s Life Members to take the lead. As some of you may know, SWE Detroit now has two endowed scholarships:
The SWE 4 Life endowed scholarship will now be our section’s third endowed scholarship! The endowed scholarship will provide an annual $1,000 scholarship to an aspiring and deserving women pursuing engineering. If the goal is met, the first scholarship would be awarded during the 70th Anniversary of SWE Detroit! SWE D’s Life Members would like the first scholarship to be given in honor of Josie E. Rewald, one of SWE’s Life Members who passed in 2016.
If you know any of the SWE Detroit Life Members, please help us communicate to them. We have found that they, like many of you, are super busy and can miss the posts and emails. Some don’t even have an email. So if you see them at work or outside, please tell them what you have read on the blog.
Not a Life Member? No problem, anyone can donate to the fund (some have already). Every little bit helps, so we encourage you to donate if you can. Your donation is tax deductible.
The program will be tracked separately from the Member Solicitation Program and have its own levels:
Diamond $ 1000 +
Sapphire $ 500 to $ 999
Emerald $ 250 to $ 499
Quartz $ 50 to $ 249
Contributions will be tracked yearly and the level will be determined based on accumulated contributions received by SWE Detroit.
To donate online to any of our programs, go to www.swedetroit.org and look for the Donate Button on the site for Paypal. After you submit your information and input your donation amount, you will have the opportunity to designate your donation. Please input in the text field to allow it to be allocated appropriately: “SWE 4 Life Endowed Scholarship or Life Members Endowed Scholarship”, “Josie E. Rewald Memorial Scholarship”, “Teacher/Mentor Award”, “Past Presidents Scholarship”, specify another program, or the general fund.

As we are working on a handful or programs, this one is targeted toward SWE’s Life Members to take the lead. As some of you may know, SWE Detroit now has two endowed scholarships:
- SWE Detroit Past Presidents – for graduating high school students following the traditional path to an engineering or technology degree
- Josie E. Rewald Memorial Scholarship – first ever for SWE (pilot) for high school students who are going to community college first on their way to being a woman in STEM. This will be awarded for the 1st time next spring.
The SWE 4 Life endowed scholarship will now be our section’s third endowed scholarship!
