The Canadian Engineering Memorial Foundation was founded in 1989 in memory of the victims of the tragedy at Ecole Polytechnique. The scholarship awards were created to encourage women to consider engineering as a career option and to increase awareness of engineering. There are five undergraduate scholarships of $5,000 awarded regionally, one national undergraduate scholarship of $5,000, and one $15,000 graduate scholarship awarded nationally.
