Ms. Miller: I am the one who started that and a lot of times we see that women are not exposed or encouraged to participate in the STEM industry. Franek Technologies is a women-owned business. I believe that women need to help each other grow and I believe we have the power to be anything we want. I am a mom, and a grandmother, and a businesswoman. If that is what we choose to do I think it helps young women to know that they have people behind them supporting and encouraging them along the way. That was more on a personal level that I wanted to reach out and give back to young women who want to pursue a field in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. I say women, but it is not only women if young men came to me and asked if they could apply for the scholarship, but I would also support that because as long as I saw that they were giving respect and empowering women in the field as well, I want to encourage that. To apply for our scholarship they just have to write an essay about being a woman pursuing their degree in STEM and or supporting women in STEM.
