EXTON, PA – Applications are now being accepted by the SCTE Foundation for the Catherine Oakes Memorial Leadership Scholarship for Women.
The new award will recognize, reward and provide educational opportunities for women who aspire to become leaders in cable engineering or operations. Created to honour the memory of the senior vice president, operations for SCTE who passed away suddenly last fall, the scholarship is funded entirely by donations earmarked specifically in her name. To date, cable system operators, vendors and individuals have donated more than $35,000 in recognition of Oakes’ contributions to the industry.
The Foundation will award an initial grant of $3,500 to be used toward registration in an industry leadership development or executive education program, such as the SCTE-Tuck Executive Leadership Program or the SCTE-Georgia Tech Management Development Program.
Women applying for the scholarship must be SCTE members, and the application deadline is Friday, April 4, 2014. More information and an application can be found here.
