 GIT Scholarships and Awards
GIT scholarships and awards are meant to help enrich students’ lives by reducing the financial barriers for those that desire to pursue extracurricular STEM exposure (i.e., STEM camps, books, online courses, certifications, etc.) or higher education for careers in STEM fields (i.e., college or trade school).
GIT Scholarships and awards are funded through the generous support of Women in Technology (WIT).
Each year, GIT offers two types of Scholarships and Awards.
Higher Education Scholarship
Higher Education Scholarships are intended for girls in 12th grade who reside in the DMV. Applicants should be planning to pursue post-high school endeavors involving STEM, either college/university or technical school.
STEM Experience Award
STEM Experience Awards are for girls who would like to pursue further learning or experiences in a STEM related field. This may include, but is not limited to, STEM boot camp or STEM classes. Awards are offered separately to high school and middle school girls.
