One of my biggest goals through life, amplified by being\nhonored with the Registry of Aruba Scholarship, is to inspire more girls and\nyoung women to pursue their dreams in STEM related fields.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis scholarship opportunity generously provided by TROA is\nencouraging, even for women like me who already attend Embry-Riddle,\u201d said\nBrittney Porter, a representative of the Women\u2019s Ambassador Program. \u201cThrough\nour Women\u2019s Ambassador Program and other programs, we are making progress, but\nthere is much more to be done to continue our growing success at Embry-Riddle.\nTROA is a big step in the right direction!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo above &#8211; Masa Alkodsi, the first recipient of the Female Forward scholarship.
