Dynamic Edge is looking for students interested in pursuing careers in science or technology.
Dynamic Edge announces the launch of its Women in STEM scholarship for 2021. This new scholarship will recur annually and is aimed at promoting gender diversity within the fields of science and technology.
The scholarship is open to high school seniors, undergraduates, and those pursuing technological certifications. Dynamic Edge will award $2,000 to each of two winners, one in Michigan and one in Tennessee.
At Dynamic Edge, every team member understands the power of positive communication and genuine empathy, resulting in superior client service. Helping people isn’t just a goal – it’s an integral part of the Dynamic Edge culture and workplace. As a leading IT services provider in Ann Arbor and Nashville, Dynamic Edge is also keen to support its local communities in new and innovative ways.
Today’s U.S. STEM workers remain male-dominated. While women comprise nearly half of the entire workforce, only 27% of the STEM workforce identify as women. Still, those figures are starting to shift prominently. Gender diversity in STEM will pay dividends down the road as many different types of people will be required to solve the most complex challenges.
“I think that team diversity is essential to high-performing organizations,” says Tim Neiman, CEO of Dynamic Edge. “Women have always been underrepresented in tech. I hope these scholarships will encourage more women to get into the industry.”
To apply, students must complete a short essay detailing their career aspirations and which technological invention of the last 10 years they find most interesting. All applications must be submitted through bold.org, a website that hosts numerous scholarship opportunities.
