Woman Forward in Technology Scholarship

[Editors note: This blog is cross-posted from .]

Are you a woman who is an undergraduate or graduate studentÌýenrolled full-time at an accredited university in the US, in a STEM field?ÌýIf you are, you now have an opportunity to apply for aÌý.

Ìýjust led a group of us, includingÌýFoundry Group, Techstars, Cooley, Yesware, Help Scout, Cloudability, Kulesa Faul, FullContact, and Anchor Point Foundation, to raise $50,000 to advance female representation in technology.

We will be awarding multiple scholarships of $3,000. The first deadline to submit is August 1st, 2017, and winners will be announced on September 1st, 2017.ÌýInterested applicants must complete a 1,000-word essay, present educational transcripts and deliver one letter of recommendation via theÌý.

I would love to see many more women involved in computer science, technology, and entrepreneurship. I’m hopeful that the $50,000 we raised for these scholarships is the start of something that can grow much larger. If you are interested in learning how you or your company can contribute to the scholarship fund,Ìýemail me.
