The Ann Arbor AWC Scholarship for Women in Computing

Each year the Ann Arbor chapter of the Association for Women in Computing (AWC), awards one or more scholarships through the AWC Scholarship Fund for Women in Computing held at the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation (AAACF).

The scholarship recognizes outstanding women participating in an institution accredited for higher education in the state of Michigan pursuing a career in a computer or technology-related field.

Awards are determined based on your answers to the three essay questions. The most important considerations are motivation, passion, thoughtfulness, creativity, skillful communication, and participation in the computing community.

The scholarship recipient must agree, if awarded the scholarship, to provide a written report on academic progress at the end of the semester after receiving the scholarship.
