The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is a national organization dedicated to empowering women to reach their full potential in engineering and leadership roles. Founded in 1950, SWE works to increase the number of women in engineering and technology, support their professional success, and promote diversity within the field. Through outreach programs, educational initiatives, and networking opportunities, SWE strives to inspire and retain women in STEM, with a particular focus on high school and community college pathways.

With support from ARDC, SWE is funding its 2025–2026 scholarships and education initiatives, including 35 scholarships for freshmen and upper-class undergraduate students in the United States and students in India, continued research on scholarship outcomes, and growth of the Community College Affiliates Support and Expansion program. The grant also helps sustain outreach and professional development activities led by SWE.
