The purpose of the Doris Gray Bursary is to sponsor students to attend WES conferences. In 2008 a decision was made to use the bursary to run a Doris Gray conference to promote the Doris Gray awards, WES and engineering for females. In 2009 the bursary also funded a Young Woman Engineer of the Year Award.
