At StatusGator, we believe the future of technology should reflect the diversity of the world it serves. That’s why we’re proud to announce the inaugural StatusGator Women in Tech Scholarship. The scholarship is a $1,500 award for a female-identifying high school senior and plans to pursue a degree in a technology-related field.
This scholarship is our small way of investing in a more equitable tech industry, one where women have a seat at the table, where opportunity isn’t limited by gender, and where the next generation of innovators comes from every background.
We’re launching this initiative at a time when diversity programs are being rolled back around the United States. Many of these changes are overshadowed by even darker headlines, but their cumulative impact is real. Diversity and inclusion aren’t about elevating unqualified people. They’re about ensuring that qualified individuals aren’t overlooked simply because of their gender, race, or background.
Cutbacks to programs that support underrepresented students are narrowing the pipeline of future technologists. We don’t believe that’s good for business or for the world. So we’re taking action, and we invite you to join us.
