Annually, PCCW recognizes women through awards ranging from $1,000 to $12,500 for research and other projects. Since its inception in 1992, the Affinito-Stewart grant program has awarded more than $544,243 to 164 women at Cornell.

Special thanks to the Cornell faculty members who review the grant applications each year. The success of women academicians at Cornell truly benefits the entire university community, and PCCW is proud to play a small part in it through this program.
