Toledo OH:  October 2, 2018:  SMIN POWER GROUP LLC awards NGALULA MUBENGA STEM Fellowships to African students in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Two NGALULA MUBENGA STEM Excellence Scholarships were awarded in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). “We received several applications and we thank those who applied… the motivation of the candidates as well as the ratings obtained during their schooling have played a big role,” said Dr. Madimba Kadima-Nzuji, General Counsel at SMIN Power Group.

The NGALULA MUBENGA STEM fellowship was instituted in 2018 by SMIN CEO Dr. Sandrine Ngalula Mubenga, PE, who reports that: “The Congo has given me so much that I feel indebted to participate in its development. In my opinion, education and knowledge are the cornerstones of an economically viable and morally sound society,” Scholarships awarded by SMIN should eventually pay the tuition fees of 6 students (3 men, 3 women).  Nominations for 2019-2020 Excellence Scholarships will open in June 2019.

STEM / NGALULA MUBENGA SCHOLARSHIP:

The goal of the STEM/ Ngalula Mubenga Scholarships are to promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education in the DRC so that men and women will be better equipped to bring renewable energy and electricity to Africa.
