GREAT MINDS™ - Girls Reaching for Education About Technology; Moving In New Directions for Success

GREAT MINDS™ Committee Members help young girls become interested in math, science and technology. The GREAT MINDS™ Program bridges the gap between industry and schools (students, educators and parents) by establishing community programs and groups focused on reaching out to young girls. This committee has established ties with leading youth organizations such as Girls, Inc., Girl Scouts of the Greater Capital Region, Science Research in the High School program at University at Albany and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.  For more information, please contact us. 

Tech Valley ATW also participates in the annual Collegiate Scholarship Program.  Through the scholarships, ATW provides financial assistance to women whose academic and professional goals include science, math, engineering or technology.  Scholars are chosen on the basis of volunteer service, passion for technology, leadership activities, scholastic grades, letters of recommendation and previous awards, among other criterion.  Demonstrated passion and spirit for technology is weighted most heavily in the selection process.  ATW scholarships are not solely need-based; rather they are focused on allowing students to experience a technology-based education regardless of their social, financial and/or academic standing.  ATW scholarships are open to first-time students, as well as the adult learner returning to school to pursue a new career.  Students must be enrolled in an Associate’s or Bachelor’s Degree program to be eligible.  Students with diverse levels of life experience, academic merit, age, race and religion are encouraged to apply.  Incomplete applications will not be considered.  The application period typically opens in early February of each year.  Visit this page for updated information: http://www.atwinternational.org/great_minds_collegiate.aspx.
