The Millennium Foundation Kosovo has formally launched its Women in Energy Scholarship program in partnership with Des Moines Area Community College. The program, first announced in December, will provide scholarships for a new generation of female leaders to train at DMACC for Kosovo’s expanding energy sector. Kosovo and the U.S. government’s Millennium Challenge Corp. are providing a grant of approximately $1 million for the program, which will provide full two-year scholarships for 25 Kosovo women beginning this fall. “We’re very pleased with the grant and excited to host these talented international students,” DMACC President Rob Dension said in a statement. “DMACC offers a practical, business-ready education in Wind Turbine Technology, Electronics Engineering Technology/Solar, Applied Engineering, Tool & Die, Computer Aided Design and other degrees that have application to the energy industry. These women will have an immediate impact on Kosovo’s energy sector after they graduate from DMACC.”
