Scholarship
Objectives: This
scholarship is designed to raise
student awareness of the
career potential in technology
related industries. Currently,
statistics demonstrate a
significant gap between the
number of technology related
jobs and the number of qualified
candidates that can fill them.
This scholarship is also
intended to encourage a
dialogue between school
faculty and industry leaders
regarding the skills required by
graduating students to succeed
in a technology saturated work
environment.
