Global Grant Program and Social Campaign Highlights Young Women Changing the World through Science, Innovation, and Challenging Gender Norms

DALLAS, TX (December 7, 2022) – As a global leader in women’s empowerment and innovative science, Mary Kay Inc.[MA1]  announces six recipients of the 2022 Young Women in STEAM grant program for making tremendous contributions to STEAM fields worldwide – science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics.

In 2020, Mary Kay launched the Young Women in STEAM grant program and social campaign to help shift the perception of “the face of science,” and encourage young women to pursue STEAM paths. According to UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, women remain a significant minority in scientific fields and are still under-represented in areas such as computing, digital information technology, engineering, mathematics, and physics.

“At Mary Kay, we celebrate young women who are embracing higher education and careers in STEAM areas as we continue to help narrow the gender gap and bias in scientific and related fields. It’s no secret that women are underrepresented in STEAM industries, and we want to help change that by providing impactful grants to encourage young women to continue their pursuits in STEAM-related fields. Our 2022 Young Women in STEAM grant recipients are blazing trails around the world and helping to solve some of humanity’s most complex problems through science and innovation. We are proud to recognize their contributions and by supporting these remarkable young women, we continue Mary Kay’s steadfast mission of enriching women’s lives worldwide.”

Dr. Lucy Gildea, Chief Innovation Officer, Product and Science

The recipients of Mary Kay’s 2022 Young Women in STEAM grant program are highlighted on the company’s global social media channels and will receive $2,500 USD grants to assist with their current or future STEAM endeavors[MA3] .
