WOMEN + TECH Scholars Program

Launch Your Digital Career

On a Mission to Close the Opportunity Gap.

The Future of Tech is Female

Our mission is to empower you to forge the career path you’ve always dreamed of and take the first step toward a tech career. Test the limits. Shatter glass ceilings.

From software development to cyber security, it’s no secret that women are underrepresented in the tech industry. Today, just 29% of tech workers are women1. At DeVry University, we think it’s time to change that. That’s why we’ve designed our Women+Tech Scholars Program, with the resources you need – like mentors, early access to job opportunities and scholarships for qualifying women in tech – to help you prepare to break through in a digital field.
