At CWIT, we know that every student’s path through engineering and IT is unique. That’s why we offer a variety of smaller scholarships funded by individual donors who are passionate about supporting the next generation of tech leaders.

These awards are designed to go beyond our standard scholars programs to recognize the diverse experiences of our community. Whether you are a current scholar looking for additional aid or a CWIT Affiliate or COEIT student with a specific passion for your field, these scholarships provide that extra boost to help you succeed.

• The Details: Awards range from $500 to $2000 for the 2026-27 academic year.
