WiNUP Scholarship Funds Available

(Story by Erica Putt)

The Women’s International Network of Utility Professionals (WiNUP) believes in doing all it can to help women within the industry with their educational pursuits. WiNUP offers three fellowships annually to female students pursuing post graduate degrees, leading to careers in the utility industry or allied fields.

WiNUP offers three grants: the Julia Kiene Fellowship Award of $2,000, the Lyle Mamer Fellowship Award of $1,000 and the Louisan Mamer Fellowship Award of $500. All three are for women pursuing graduate degrees. Relevant fields must relate to a career in a utility related field such as engineering, business administration, accounting, environmental sciences, communications, information technologies, and so on.

A fourth award of $500 is available to WiNUP members only for professional development and does not require graduate level study.

Applications are due by May 1 and award recipients will be announced in June.

Students not currently taking classes are asked to include proof of registration with their scholarship application.
