CARS Women in Rail Scholarship
This Scholarship aims to provide assistance to one or more current female CARS members and immediate family (wife, daughter, granddaughter) to encourage women to continue education in the rail industry or one or more students in a given school year to promote the rail industry by providing assistance to students focused on pursuing a railroad career. Such students will be engaged in an educational pursuit involving the direct application of their chosen discipline to the railway industry.
The 2022 winner of the Women in Rail Scholarship is Sofia Isabella Brioso Soto!
