‘Tech for Good’ scholarship
One student will be selected every year from the pool of applicants and will receive US$ 5,000 funding, in order to help continue their education.

Applicants with a strong academic record will be required to submit an engaging 500-word essay or a video that describes how they would plan to use technology to solve real-world problems. This year, the deadline for submitting the application will be November 15th, 2021. Applications can be submitted online and finalists will be expected to provide academic references.
