The Information Technology Research Institute will host a dinner to recognize the winners in April 2018 as part of the 2018 Women in Information Technology Conference. The winning students will receive an award for themselves and their school and will have the opportunity to receive scholarships and internships, and access to peer networks. To apply, students should visit the program’s website.
The program is also accepting applications to recognize high school educators, counselors, mentors and influencers who support high school women’s computing and technology programs. Applications for educators will be accepted through Nov. 27.
