According to the article, "Women make up more than 51 percent of the population but less than 15 percent of engineers. The lack of women in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields threatens to reduce the diversity of talent that is necessary for the 21st century. The potential amount of talent lost as a result is unknown but clearly significant in magnitude. One of the ways to alleviate the shortage of women in the engineering fields is by offering scholarships as an incentive to take up engineering as a major in college." 

 A variety of scholarship programs are available today that are geared toward encouraging women to become engineers.

• The Society of Women Engineers Scholarships
• The Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship
• Alpha Omega Epsilon (AOE) National Foundation: Scholarships
• Kate Gleason Scholarship
• Women in Aviation International: Scholarships
