SWE Space Coast Scholarship
The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) Space Coast Scholarship Program supports women from Brevard, Indian River, and Volusia Counties who will be pursuing an ABET-accredited bachelor program in preparation for careers in engineering, engineering technology, and computer science. SWE Space Coast Scholarships are awarded annually based on academic merit, demonstrated leadership, and potential for success in engineering.
