If you win the grant, you are welcomed into the Marina van Damme Network, an active network of former winners. These women support the scholarship awards by serving on the juries and strengthen one another through their ambitious personalities. With their varied but shared technological backgrounds and interests, they seek ways to help each other move forward and serve as role models for ambitious women. The members of the Marina van Damme Network meet several times a year, including every spring under the apple tree in Mrs. Van Damme’s garden.
