Bethel Sheferaw 

Silver Spring

I am an advocate for diversity in STEM. As an immigrant and a passionate supporter of underrepresented groups in tech, I am dedicated to providing opportunities for students who face financial and systemic barriers. My goal is to empower these students to pursue their dreams in technology, and through this fund, I aim to make a meaningful difference in their academic and professional futures.

Mission

My mission is to create opportunities for talented, underrepresented students to succeed in the fields of technology and computer science. As an immigrant and someone passionate about diversity in STEM, I understand how crucial it is to have access to the right resources, education, and mentorship. Through this fund, I aim to break down financial barriers and provide support to undocumented students and those with DACA status who are pursuing degrees in Computer and Information Science or related fields. By empowering these students, I hope to foster a more inclusive and innovative tech industry. I believe that a diverse tech community is not only stronger but more capable of solving the world’s most pressing challenges. This scholarship is an investment in the future of both the students and the tech industry, and I’m committed to making a lasting impact on their educational and professional journeys. Together, we can build a more inclusive and equal future for all.
