Description
The 2014 Denver Biz Tech Expo Young Women’s Technology Scholarship was created to assist and motivate Denver Public High School Seniors to pursue a degree in technology. The technology industry in the United States is growing rapidly and the disparity of men to women working in the field is getting wider. There is a great need for more educated and certified professional women in this field. We welcome all applicants pursuing any degree related to technology which can include business, marketing, sales, engineering, design, graphic art, etc.; it’s does not need to be solely focused on Information Technology, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering to be considered for this award.
