SWE Chicago Regional Section Certificates of Merit
Dear Principal, Guidance Counselor, or Teacher:
The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) Chicago Section invites your school to participate in the SWE Certificates of Merit program. Each year, upon teacher or counselor recommendation, SWE recognizes up to three female students in each high school for outstanding achievement over three years in both mathematics and science. Each certificate is embossed with the student's name, date of award, and either "Highest Honor," "High Honor," or "Honor."
To join, please complete and return the online nomination form below, or download the Word Document and send as an email attachment to swecrs.vpoutreach@swe.org. In order for the certificates to be mailed to your school before your awards ceremony or graduation date, requests must be received at least 4 weeks before certificates are required them, or by April 1, 2021, whichever is earlier.
If it is desired that a SWE member present the award to your students, please indicate so on the
special instructions section of the nomination form. SWE regrets that there may not be
representatives available to attend and present the awards at your ceremony; however a strong
effort will be made to accommodate requests. Your school will be notified if a presenter is
available.
The Society of Women Engineers is a non-profit organization, funded entirely by its members and

The Certificates of Merit program, along with scholarship and mentoring programs, are some of the ways the Society tries to encourage students to consider engineering as a field of study in
