Pay it Forward Technology Scholarship
As the tech boom permeates throughout the globe, leaders in STEM are more essential now than ever.
Every day, we witness the innovation and technological creativity that changes the course of the human experience significantly. However, in order for innovation to succeed, it needs two things: 1) funding and 2) brainpower.
We need the smartest people in the world to be incentivized to work on our most important global issues to impact the 7 billion people currently living and future generations who will set foot on Earth someday.
The Pay it Forward Technology Scholarship will support one student in tech who has a passion to help others and is pursuing a degree in STEM to make the world a better place. All first-generation college students in STEM or entrepreneurship are eligible to apply.
To apply, please write about how you plan to leverage tech, entrepreneurship, or a combination of the two to improve the world.
