Sygma Technology STEM Scholarship for Minority Students

We have helped forward-thinking organizations open the doors to their next incarnation using technology, creativity, and ingenuity. We are passionate about equal opportunities and understand that there is still progress to be made in minority representation and opportunity in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
In 2016, only 22% of degrees in STEM were earned by underrepresented minority students.
With this in mind, we wish to assist underrepresented minority students who are passionate about STEM and believe in the merits of using technology and creativity to enhance our everyday lives.
You should apply to this scholarship if you are a minority student passionate about STEM and are a believer in using technology to transform our lives for the better. We’re excited to hear your ideas, your passion, and where you see yourself contributing to this subject.
