Ja-Tek Scholarship Award
The Ja-Tek mission is to give back to upcoming and aspiring future engineers and technological scientists.
Technology has and will continue to become an increasingly essential field to the systems and functions of the world. While many benefit from the advances of technology, only some are truly passionate about the field, looking not just for a career but for a means of making a living in tech while also making an impact.
This scholarship aims to support underrepresented students as they pursue their dreams in the field of engineering.
