2009 AWARD RECIPIENT

Last year’s AWT Charitable Foundation Scholarship Award was presented to Shannon Stanton, a University of California, Irvine student obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science with a minor in Linguistics.

Shannon was awarded $2,500, and she said “The money granted by this scholarship would ease the burden of paying for housing, books, and food not covered by savings. I am eager to get involved in research in the field of Computer Science”. Shannon’s plans include pursuit of a Master’s degree in Computer Science.

AWT CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

AWT has established the AWT Charitable Foundation: 501(c) (3) to provide scholarships for women in Southern California who desire to study technology at a vocational school, community college, or four-year institution.  The Foundation's scholarship program supports the mission of AWT to increase the number of women in technology careers, foster career advancement through professional development and education, and provide a supportive network for women in technology. Since the founding of the AWT Charitable Foundation in 2006, AWT has awarded multiple scholarships and raised over $11,000 in scholarship dollars.
