Applications are open now through November 15, 2009 for the 2010 NCWIT
Award for Aspirations in Computing!


Sponsored by Bank of America, the NCWIT Award for Aspirations in
Computing recognizes young women at the high-school level for their
computing-related achievements and interests. By generating visibility
for these young women in their local communities, the NCWIT Award for
Aspirations in Computing encourages their continued interest in
computing, attracts the attention and support of educational and
corporate institutions, and emphasizes at a personal level the
importance of women's participation.



All US high school young women (grades 9-12) are invited to apply.
Complete information on the award is available at
http://www.ncwit.org/award including Spanish language versions of the
Award promotional materials.



Awardees are selected for their demonstrated, outstanding aptitude and
interest in information technology/computing; solid leadership
ability; good academic history; and plans for post-secondary
education.



Each qualified national awardee will receive:

    * $500 in cash

    * a laptop computer, provided by Bank of America

    * a trip to attend the Bank of America Technology Showcase and
Awards Ceremony, March 27, 2010, held in Charlotte, North Carolina

    * an engraved award for both the student and the student's school



Past winners are not eligible to apply (but we appreciate your help in
spreading the word), however, previous applicants (including Semi
Finalists) are encouraged to apply.



New this Fall! Affiliate Awards

Through a generous grant from the Motorola Foundation, there will be
additional Affiliate Award programs in Texas, Illinois & Florida.
The application period is the same and students who apply from these
states will be entered into both the local and national competitions.
Affiliate award prize packages will vary by location.



Please help us spread the word and reach our goal of 1000 applicants
this year!
