Telesat Opens Applications for its Annual National Women in STEM Scholarship Program
22 2월 2023 - 9:00PM
Telesat (NASDAQ and TSX: TSAT), one of the world’s largest and most
innovative satellite operators, today announced applications are
now being accepted for its third annual National Women in STEM
scholarship program. Through this program, Telesat will be awarding
$5,000 scholarships to eight full-time undergraduate students
pursuing studies in science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM).
Building on the success of the undergraduate
university scholarship program over the past two years, Telesat is
expanding eligibility to a wider pool of candidates to include
applicants enrolled in accredited technical college programs.
Today, women account for less than 24% of
students pursuing STEM programs in Canada – according to Statistics
Canada – despite increasing demand for STEM professionals in the
labour market. Telesat’s scholarship program aims to inspire,
prepare and enable more women to join these important, high-paying,
and fast-growing fields.
“Having more women in STEM drives innovation,
advances gender equality and creates a stronger economy for all
Canadians,” said Hon. Marci Ien, Minister for Women and Gender
Equality and Youth. “Telesat’s scholarship program will equip the
next generation of leaders with the support they need to thrive in
their studies.”
“Increasing diversity in our workforce is
paramount to increasing innovation and improving decision-making,
employee retention, and work satisfaction,” said France Teasdale,
Vice President of People and a graduate of Ecole Polytechnique in
Montreal, QC, with a BSc degree in mechanical engineering. “I’m
proud to work for an industry leader like Telesat, which puts words
into action and invests to help to close the gender gap in
STEM.”
Scholarship applications are being accepted
until 1:00 p.m. ET on March 27, 2023. Telesat intends for this
program to reflect Canada’s broad diversity and we strongly
encourage Indigenous, visible minority students, and students with
disabilities to apply. Scholarship Partners Canada (SPC), a
division of Universities Canada, administers the scholarship
program on behalf of Telesat.
