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 has been a part of AWT's vision from the beginning.

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 $21,000 in scholarship dollars. Most students receive some form of financial assistance to make their higher education experience possible, and AWT is passionate about providing opportunities to fund women in the field of technology. As evidence of your strong commitment to AWT, last year’s Annual Scholarship Campaign provided $2,500 to student aid funds, exceeding all previous year’s campaigns.

These awards are possible through the generous support of our members, community and industry friends. These individuals and companies, through their commitment to higher education, play an active role in the future of information technology.

AWT's first scholarship was offered in conjunction with the University of California Irvine's Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences.
