Ruth Harman Walraven Women in Industrial Technology Scholarship

Ruth Harman Walraven typifies a woman who entered and became successful in a non-traditional career- aviation. Ruth went to night school to learn about motors in an aviation class, and in 1932 she became a licensed pilot. Ruth had also become friends with Amelia Earhart. At a time when women were an exception in aviation, Ruth Harman had an exceptional career. The purpose of this scholarship is to address the under-representation of women among students majoring in Industrial Technology Management and Technology Education.
