Since launching the scholarship in 2020, Hyundai has provided $150,000 USD to the next generation of women leaders, helping to close the gender gap in STEM fields such as engineering, mobility and autonomous driving, the company said.
For 2023, five female STEM students will receive a scholarship in the amount of $10,000 USD each.
“At Hyundai, we know that investing in our future will create a richer journey for us all,” said Angela Zepeda, CMO, Hyundai Motor America. “With this scholarship, we are proud to support the journeys of the future women leaders and innovators in STEM as they continue their education.”
Recipients must be high school seniors or undergraduate students who identify as female, reside in the United States and plan to pursue or are pursuing a STEM-related field of education, Hyundai representatives said. Eligible students can apply for the award by writing an essay of 500 words or more on how they think the future of mobility can be improved to better serve communities and enhance quality of life through STEM-related solutions.
Applications are open now until June 30.
