Scholars Programs for Communities of Like-minded Students
DeVry University brings students, mentors and programs together to help close opportunity gaps
DeVry’s Scholars Programs are designed to help graduates prepare for the workforce with relevant skills that will benefit their tech career paths. Tailored tasks and milestones provide insightful experiences, while access to workshops, internships, memberships and one-on-one support from mentors helps students learn how to be independent thinkers and stand up against challenges through collaborative solutions.
Scholarship opportunities may also exist for students who apply and qualify.
Women currently remain highly underrepresented in software engineering (14% of total workforce) and computer science-related jobs (25% of total workforce).1 The Women+Tech Scholars ProgramTM was designed to bring students together and rise up against this gender parity, arming them with the hard and soft skills they need to change the status quo.
Hispanic workers are underrepresented in STEM jobs at 8% of the STEM workforce, substantially lower than their 17% share of all employed. 2 You can be a part of the change to help close this gap by joining a community of individuals who share a similar goal—to learn the skills they need to pursue potential roles in tech-driven industries.
