Despite making up roughly 50 percent of the workforce, women hold less than 30 percent of STEM jobs, and men vastly outnumber women majoring in most STEM fields at the higher education level. The LogicMonitor Women in STEM Scholarship seeks to break the gender gap disparity by providing financial support to women seeking careers in STEM. One exceptional candidate will receive $6,000 as a result of this scholarship for the 2021 academic year.
“Women have broken many gender barriers in the STEM field, yet they remain largely underrepresented in the technology workforce. At LogicMonitor, we understand that building better technology tomorrow starts with investing in young women who are fiercely advancing the future of STEM today,” said Todd Riesterer, LogicMonitor’s Chief People Officer. “We hope this scholarship will encourage more women to pursue their studies and reverse the gender gap of women in STEM.”
