Empowering Black Women in Tech
Diversity and inclusion are critical to the success of the tech industry. When people from different backgrounds work together, they bring a wider range of perspectives and ideas to the table. This leads to more innovative products and services that better meet the needs of a diverse customer base.
Despite the benefits of diversity and inclusion, the tech industry still has a long way to go. Women and people of color continue to be underrepresented in tech.
This scholarship seeks to empower and support talented Black women who are passionate about technology and demonstrate a strong commitment to their academic pursuits.

To apply, tell us about your passion for technology and your chosen field, your career goals, how this scholarship will help you, what challenges you have overcome in your education, and why diversity and inclusion are important.
