Building the Computing and IT Pipeline
The NCWIT aspirations award applicants represent a rich and ready source of young women highly qualified to enter the computing and IT workforce. Recognizing and encouraging their interest at this early stage could be the catalyst that propels them into studying computer science in college and ultimately pursuing a career in computing and information technology. NCWIT is seeking to grow the Aspirations Award program to recognize 1,000 young women annually across the nation.
