Systers Online Community is pleased to announce the creation of the
Pass-It-On Grants to honor Anita Borg's desire to create a network of
technical women helping one another.
The grants, funded by donations from the Systers community, are intended
as means for women established in technological fields to support women
seeking their place in the fields of technology.
Grants are called "Pass-It-On" grants because they come with the moral
obligation to "pass on" the benefits gained from the grant.
Next scheduled round is March 30, 2008
Pass-it-on Grants are open to any woman over 18 years old in or aspiring
to be in the fields of computing. Grants are open to women in all
countries and range from $500.00 to $1000.00.
Applications covering a wide variety of needs and projects are
encouraged, such as:
* Small grant to help with studies, job transfers or other transitions
in life.
* A broader project that benefits girls and women.
* Projects that seek to inspire more girls and women to go into the
computing field.
* Assistance with educational fees and materials.
* Partial funding source for larger scholarship.
* Mentoring and other supportive groups for women in technology or
computing.
