I just set- up a scholarship fund for Women in engineering
Post Body

I had no children of my own, my nieces and nephews are not trying to go to college after school. I thought one of them would want to take it up engineering. I am the only person in my family to go to college to get a 4 year degree. I am disappointed they are not going further.

Well to fix that I just pledged 2-$1000 scholarships for my Alma Mata annually to go to woman in engineering.

I counted on scholarships when I was going to school and now I can help 2 people a year. Maybe later I can help more. I'm re-writing my will for this.

Thanks, I know it's not much in the big scheme of things but to me It feels like a step in the right direction. I went to Wentworth and I got an associates in EE ,and associate and bachelors in ME. It actually took me 5 years to graduate. This decision I made makes me feel like I am helping out in my own little way. Going to college has been one of the best choices I made in life.

When I was in college it was only $3500 per semester, I know it's much more now.
