This
scholarship was created by Urban Wildlife Manager Rebecca Fyffe, an
entrepreneur who is unique in her industry as a female business owner,
as only 3% of pest control &
management firms are owned by women. Fyffe credits her business acumen
and cutting edge research-based methods to her STEM background and
wishes for more women to have the opportunity to engage STEM programs
and science-based education.
