In today’s society, it can be incredibly difficult for minority students to find opportunities in the STEM field.

From establishing connections in the field to finding internships and part-time or full-time employment at tech companies, it can be challenging for minority students to access the opportunities that others take for granted. 

This scholarship seeks to help underserved students find success as they pursue careers in the technology field. 

Any first-generation high school senior or undergraduate student pursuing a two or four-year degree in engineering, computer science, or a similar field may apply for this scholarship. 

To apply, tell us about what influenced you to dive deeper into tech, what you would do to change the tech industry, and if you think the tech industry has an obligation to be inclusive to all consumers.
