Hats Off to You! and its Excellence in Science segment

The Hats Off to You! contest and its Excellence in Science segment showcase the determination and work of women enrolled in a vocational training or technical training program, or a bachelor’s program in science or engineering that leads to a career in a traditionally male-dominated occupation.

The contest:

• recognizes women who choose a traditionally male-dominated occupation
• rewards their hard work
• promotes the academic success of women within a predominantly male group
• provides role models for women who wish to venture off the beaten track

You must be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident, have resided in Québec for at least one year, and must not have failed in more than two subjects in your last school term.

The prizes awarded to the winners are worth between $2 000 and $5 000, and amount to nearly $170 000.
