Give the Gift of Hope!
In these difficult times, your support means the world to a deserving girl in South Florida who is finishing her senior year of high school. She will have done the hard work to get accepted into college for a STEM degree in Engineering and Technology.
Her dream is only in reach if she can marshal the financial resources and a supportive network. She may be the first in her family to attend college. The challenges of the gender gap in tech remain huge.
For every $8000 we raise this year, we can provide one girl a four-year renewable college scholarship plus a match with a supportive mentor and access to ITWomen's connected network of female technology professionals.
So with $40,000 you will bring inestimable surprise and joy to five very deserving young women this spring.

"The experiences and knowledge I’ve gained from ITWomen’s investment in my education are immeasurable. Through ITWomen’s support, I have accomplished much of what I once thought was impossible. I hope to one day give back to this foundation, uplifting and supporting the many more women in technology who are sure to succeed me." - Aranique is simultaneously pursuing a Bachelors and Masters degree in Information Systems and Operations Management with a focus in Data Science at the University of Florida.
"The ITWomen Foundation Scholarship has served as a mentor in my life, a motivator in times of need, a huge supporter every step of the way, and a way for me to make it through college. My dedication to opportunities and technology would not have been the same, and who I am today, will not have been the same."
- Jovanie Smith, class of 2019, Southern University and A&M College. B.S. Computing Science. Jovanie is now a software engineer at Lockheed Martin.
Before attending an ITWomen Summer Robotics and Coding Camp taught by an ITWomen scholarship recipient, I wasn't sure what I might like to study after high school. As a result of attending the summer camp, I am now pursuing a degree in Computer Science at the University of Central Florida and am a proud 2018 ITWomen scholarship recipient!
