$1,000 scholarship to women seeking a career in computer science

At StudySoup, we're constantly looking for ways to improve the educational experiences of college students, including finding ways to lighten their financial burdens.

One way we're doing this is through our scholarship program. We're offering a $1,000 scholarship to women seeking a career in computer science and/or computer programming, a field they are highly underrepresented in. The scholarship will be awarded to a female student who demonstrates a passion for computer science and is actively seeking opportunities for a meaningful career in the industry. 

We want as many students as possible to apply and need your help to make that happen! If you know any students that might be eligible for this, please post our link and encourage them to apply!

Foreign Affairs IT Fellowship

The Washington Center is pleased to announce an exciting new program through its operating partnership with the U.S. Department of State: the 2017 Foreign Affairs Information Technology (IT) Fellowship.
The Foreign Affairs IT Fellowship was launched by the State Department to address its growing need for technology expertise in the field of diplomacy, in addition to increasing the representation of diverse groups among its service. The Fellowship is designed to attract outstanding individuals from all ethnic, racial and social backgrounds who have an interest in pursuing a Foreign Service career with the U.S. Department of State. Women, members of minority groups historically underrepresented in the Foreign Service and students with financial need are encouraged to apply. Program highlights include:
  • Undergraduate candidates (2 fellowships available): Up to $37,500 annually for tuition, room and board, books, mandatory fees and some travel expenses for junior and senior years of undergraduate studies related to an Information Technology field.
  • Graduate candidates (3 fellowships available): Up to $37,500 annually for tuition, room and board, books, mandatory fees and some travel expenses for a two-year master’s degree in an IT-related field.
  • Two summer internships, one at a domestic office of the Department of State in Washington, D.C. and one overseas at a U.S. embassy or consulate. The program provides stipends, transportation and housing for these internships.
  • Employment in the Department of State Foreign Service for those who successfully complete the program and Foreign Service IMS entry requirements.
The application for the Fellowship is available on The Washington Center's website. Students are also encouraged to visit the Foreign Affairs IT Fellowship page to assess their eligibility and review expectations for selected fellows. All applications for undergraduate and graduate fellowships must be completed by February 13, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. EST in order to be considered.
We kindly request that you share this information with eligible students on your campus, along with faculty and staff who can help identify strong candidates.
We appreciate your support for this program and for providing your students with opportunities to help them achieve their potential.
