Sankofatech Achievers in Technology Program 2024 | Up to $2,000

Sankofatech’s Achievers in Technology (AIT) is a rigorous four-year scholarship and mentorship program that aims to produce the next generation of African technology professionals in the United States.

Sankofatech believes technology is not the preferred career path for youth of African descent due to lack of knowledge about the industry, community misconception (i.e., not perceived as prestigious), and lack of access to resources.

They aim to tackle these problems through the AIT program. AIT scholars go through a rigorous four-year program that equips them with essential skills and access to a network of like-minded peers, mentors, advisors, and accomplished professionals in the tech industry.

Eligibility

Applicants must:

• Be entering a U.S. college or university as a first-year student in the 2024-2025 academic year.
• Demonstrate an interest in pursuing a tech career (i.e. Software Engineering, Product Management, Data Science, Information
• Security, Project/Program Management, Networking, Database Administration, etc.).
• Be of African descent.
• Come from a low-income household.

Benefits

AIT scholars will receive numerous benefits by participating in the program, and some of these benefits include:

• An annual $500 scholarship award* (up to $2,000)
• Personalized career mentor(s) from top tech companies
• Job readiness training (e.g., mock job interviews, resume reviews)
• Access to a network of diverse tech professionals
• Site visits to tech companies
• Virtual webinars related to career and personal development
• Opportunity to work on a project that benefits your community

The scholarship is contingent on the scholar’s continuation in the Sankofatech’s Achievers in Technology Program and the selection of a qualified STEM major.
