  <title><![CDATA[33 Scholarships Awarded to Biomedical Engineering Students]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Georgia Tech&rsquo;s Women in Engineering (WIE) program recently awarded 33 scholarships to undergraduate biomedical engineering students. The Georgia Tech Women in Engineering (WIE) program is dedicated to recruiting top female students into engineering majors. WIE is run by faculty and staff out of the College of Engineering (CoE) dean&rsquo;s office, and exists to serve the needs of all women engineering students at Georgia Tech. Female CoE students are automatically associated with WIE.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>These scholarships are awarded based on academic excellence, financial need, and involvement with women-focused professional organizations such as WIE and the Society of Women Engineers as well as other criteria (major, GPA, and citizenship) specified by each of the corporate sponsors. The application for these scholarships becomes available each year in mid-January.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Please join us in congratulating this year&rsquo;s WIE biomedical engineering student scholarship recipients.</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
