AWIS Shooting Star Chapter Awards
Awards Overview
These awards provide AWIS Chapters with a grant to be used towards local programming and activities such as K-12 science fairs, mentoring programs, advocacy, outreach, college scholarships, entrepreneurship, and leadership training. Chapter Award recipients are selected by AWIS’ Chapter Advisory Committee based upon end-of-year reports submitted by chapters, and awards are distributed in the spring.
