Heather Andrews Scholarship/ Women's Program
Solar Energy International's solar training Women’s Program provides in-person, technical workshops in a supportive learning atmosphere to bring more women into the renewable energy field. SEI's training is helpful and rewarding to women pursuing a career and/or working in renewable energy.
In 2012, SEI established the Heather Andrews Scholarship Fund to support women's solar training. Heather was a SEI alumna and solar champion who passed away Feb. 8, 2012, after complications from brain surgery. This scholarship supports female SEI students pursuing hands-on training at our Paonia PV Lab in the charming town nestled in the Rocky Mountains Heather held close to her heart. The Heather Andrews Scholarship Fund is the focus of the SEI Women's Program. Donate now.
On Wednesday, February 6th, 2013, at the Field House Sports and Beer Hall (1159 Filbert Street, inside the PA Convention Center), there was a gathering in Heather's honor. The #SolarChat team from @EcoOufitters, along with @PVAmerica, presented #SolarChat LIVE at PV America East (#PVAE), an event inspired by Heather's memory and attended by many of her friends from the solar industry. The event was a success with a meet and greet, networking, a 50/50 Raffle benefiting the Heather Andrews Scholarship Fund, Renewable Energy World live-streaming coverage and "Solar on the Street" interviews.
