Scholarship Opportunity

My name is Scott and I wanted to share a scholarship program launched by my company, Toptal.

We started a scholarship program to award 12 scholarships over the next 12 months to help young women pursue their technical career aspirations.

It is open to more than just young aspiring developers; the award applies to anyone with a passion for tech and we welcome applicants from high school who have a growing interest in STEM.

Each scholarship winner will receive a stipend, and in addition, a year of mentorship and guidance from the senior developers within our network. Here are the scholarship guidelines.

It would be great if you could post the scholarship on your external scholarship page.
