Scholarship testimonial: Western Power’s Women in STEM
Ashley is one of the many alumni who were once scholarship recipients. Read all about her journey – one that began because she applied for a scholarship.
“The scholarship introduced me to a world I hadn’t previously considered, and it has played a significant role in shaping the engineer I am today. Who would have known? This all started because I took a chance and applied and I’m so glad I had.”
