About the donor

The Steph McGovern Women in Engineering Scholarship, powered by Enginuity, has been established through a partnership between Enginuity, Steph McGovern and º£½ÇÖ±²¥ to support more women into engineering education and careers.

While engineering offers exciting opportunities across a wide range of industries, women remain underrepresented in many areas of the profession. This scholarship aims to encourage and enable more women to study engineering-related degrees at º£½ÇÖ±²¥, helping to build a stronger, more diverse talent pipeline for the Tees Valley and beyond.

The Tees Valley is home to a thriving industrial economy, with significant investment creating growing demand for engineering skills. By supporting the next generation of female engineers, the scholarship aims to help ensure local industries have access to the talent, innovation and expertise they need for the future.

Alongside financial support, scholars have opportunities to engage with Steph McGovern, Enginuity and industry partners throughout their studies. Opportunities may include:

• mentoring
• networking
• career development activities
• industry insight sessions.

These activities help students build the skills, confidence and professional connections needed for future careers.
