Sister to Sister Scholarship Opportunity
In the fall of 1998, the alumnae of the Colorado School of Mines gathered to celebrate 100 years of women at Mines at The Florence Caldwell Centennial Celebration. As an outgrowth of this Celebration, women developed a scholarship program sponsored and supported by alumni and friends of Mines. In 2000, the Sister-to-Sister Scholarship Program began awarding an annual scholarship to a current Mines woman student.
