Matthew Killawee, owner of Frontier Field Engineering, is sponsoring a new $5000 undergraduate scholarship in partnership with the Canadian Engineering Memorial Foundation (CEMF). Matthew was formerly with NTPC’s Design Engineering Group and his company continues to work closely with our Thermal Operations Division.
The Nellie Giffin Engineering Award will be provided to a self-identifying female studying engineering full-time in an accredited engineering undergraduate program with a focus on electrical engineering or computer sciences engineering. Nellie Giffin was Matthew’s grandmother.
CEMF was established in 1990 in memory of the 14 women killed at École Polytechnique on December 6, 1989. The memory of those who lost their lives is kept alive through the scholarships, networking and promotional opportunities provided by the Foundation for the past 23 years.
Congratulations and thank you to Matthew for this generous and inspiring act.
