Masco Presents Scholarships to 2022 Women of Tomorrow

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

In May, Masco was happy to present Masco Scholarships to five members of the Women of Tomorrow Metro Detroit graduating class. Scholarship winners were announced at the annual Graduation Luncheon, where Women of Tomorrow gave out scholarships to assist high school seniors in the program with college tuition.

Since Women of Tomorrow Metro Detroit launched in 2011 with a mission to empower, motivate, and inspire young women, the program has grown to serve 1,200 students annually in 50 schools in southeastern Michigan, and has awarded more than $2 million in scholarships funds.

For the 2021-2022 school year, Masco had five employees volunteer as mentors. First-time mentor Shreya Jain, Senior Analyst in Global Supply Chain, says, “Serving as a mentor with Women of Tomorrow has been a rewarding experience. Even though I do not have all the answers, it pushes me to learn, reflect and develop skills to share with the girls, and provide a perspective that could help define their future.”

Masco is very proud of the 2022 Women of Tomorrow graduating class, and we can’t wait to see what these young women will go on to achieve!
