Launched on International Women’s Day 2022, this initiative is more than just financial aid. It’s a purposeful investment in equity, innovation, and opportunity. In science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), women remain underrepresented. This imbalance limits potential and stifles innovation. At PomeGran, we believe that changing this narrative begins with action. That’s why we launched the Women in STEM Scholarship Program, a commitment to empowering the next generation of women leaders in STEM.
Our Commitment:
-
6 to 10 scholarships awarded annually
-
Over $150,000 invested over five years
-
Open to domestic and international students studying STEM across Canada
Through partnerships with respected Canadian post-secondary institutions, we are fostering a culture of inclusion and helping women thrive in high-impact fields.
Why It Matters
“Women continue to be underrepresented in studying and working in STEM. We wish to support and inspire women towards equal representation in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, to help build a bright future.”
— Dr. Kalai S. Kalaichelvan, Chairman & CEO, PomeGran
“Education is an important part of career development, especially for Women in STEM students in pursuit of jobs in traditionally under-represented industries that utilize Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Women continue to have fewer opportunities to study and work in STEM jobs, and we want to inspire and support women towards gender equality in STEM fields,”
– Christine Marion, Chief Operating Officer, CochraneTel
“Your kind-hearted support will significantly ease my financial burden and allow me to focus more on my studies.”
– Kayla Collins, an Agriculture Technician Co-op student at the Corner Brook campus, received the IceNet Wireless Scholarship valued at $5,000.
By supporting women in STEM, we are not just investing in individuals. We are advancing innovation, promoting diversity, and strengthening our society. Representation matters, and this program is a tangible way to create real change.
