Allow us to introduce the Global Women in TECH Scholarship program – a solution aimed at nurturing the next generation of female digital talent!
Diversity is not just a preaching, but a cultivation. While progress has been made to make the TECH industry more inclusive, there is still much work to be done.
At Vijay Computer Academy, we are committed to empowering the next generation of women in TECH by providing them with access to high-demand, high-paying IT career paths that benefit from increased diversity.
However, merely recognizing the need for diversity is not enough. To effect real change, we must support these women in entering and thriving in male-dominated, costly niches where education expenses can be a barrier.
By providing girls and women with opportunities to pursue education and develop 21st-century IT skills, we can empower them to exercise their voice and leadership in their families, communities, and countries.
And how to do that? You guessed it: the Global Women in Tech Scholarship!

Who can apply for this scholarship?
We want as many women as possible to feel the positive impact that education can have in their lives. That’s why the scope of criteria for applicants is wide and aims to achieve minorities and underprivileged groups of women, such as:
- Underserved and unprivileged women
- Women of color
- Accessibility impaired women
- Moms
- Women who want to re-enter the workforce
- Women who are looking for remote jobs
- Women career changers (diversify in IT)
- Women living in underdeveloped, least-developed countries
- Women refugees and immigrants
And if your company is committed to a specific group, we can also adapt that into your
sponsorship!
The sponsorship can have some criteria, such as “we want to sponsor black women” or
“we want to sponsor Latino women because that’s who we want to hire eventually“.
It’s an investment that your business is making on itself and that will return it richly!
