Sygma Technology's Promotion of STEM Education For Minority Students Award

The team at Sygma Technology has begun an annual scholarship for minority students. This $1,000 scholarship program has been created with the purpose of assisting underrepresented students who have an interest in STEM and believe in the merits of using technology and creativity to enhance our everyday lives.

We are passionate about equal opportunities and understand that there is still progress to be made in minority representation and opportunity in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Please write a 1,000-word essay answering the following questions:

• How do you plan to use technology to improve the lives of others?
• How do you feel that underrepresented groups can be encouraged to go into the STEM field?
• What businesses do you admire that encourage minority students to pursue a career in the STEM field?

ELIGIBILITY
