Do you know a woman working in technology? Zonta has a scholarship for that.
Zonta Club of Port Macquarie president Joy Whiting said the award was exciting.
"This award recognises that women are still largely under-represented in information technology and other STEM fields," Mrs Whiting said.
"Zonta International is pleased to offer its new women in technology scholarship to encourage women to pursue education, career opportunities and leadership roles in technology.
“This exciting new Award is available at club, district and international levels."
Application, guidelines and other materials for the women in technology scholarship are now available at www.zonta.org
The scholarship targets women pursuing a technology degree or closely related program, who demonstrate outstanding potential in the field.
Women not enrolled in a university are also eligible as long as they submit evidence of training and performance.
Zonta International Foundation will award up to US$112,000 in scholarships, split up through 32 district/region scholarships of US$2000 each and six international scholarships of US$8000 each.
The women in technology scholarship is a pilot program made possible through generous donations to the Zonta International Foundation, Mrs Whiting said.
The Zonta Club of Port Macquarie Inc. is keen to receive local applications for the scholarship and to mentor applicants to reach district and international level.
The Zonta Club of Port Macquarie Inc. also reminds local applicants that entries for the club’s 2019 Young Women in Public Affairs award close on March 1.
