MCWT Scholarship Program

The Michigan Council of Women in Technology Foundation Scholarship Program encourages talented female students to continue their higher education and ultimately help Michigan become the No. 1 state for girls and women in technology. Annual awards range from $2,000 to $5,000, with the possibility of renewal, and are given to high school seniors and undergraduate or graduate college students. Recipients receive financial support, a leadership mentor for the scholarship period, and assistance finding internship opportunities. The program has awarded $2.1 million in scholarships since 2002, with 452 total awards to 280 women. The scholarship supports women pursuing technology-related degree programs including Information Systems, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, Computer Information Systems, Digital Forensics, Cyber Security, and Data Science. While MCWT engagement is considered, it is not a requirement for scholarship decisions, and recipients are welcome to apply for renewal in subsequent years.
