The Otis scholarship program was launched in 2021 and has benefitted 240 female STEM students to date. The 2023 scholarship recipients have diverse backgrounds and goals, with some seeking to provide more prosperous lives for their parents in remote, rural regions and others planning to register patents for their innovations.
