Creating Opportunities in STEM: Telesat’s 2022 Scholarship Program

The 2022 Telesat Scholarship Program is aimed at closing this gender gap and inspiring the next-generation of female innovators and leaders. This annual program will provide eight (8) students a scholarship of $5,000 CAD each.

Diversity
