AnitaB.org's Pass It On Awards
Deadline: June 5, 2023
The Systers Pass It On Awards Program, established by AnitaB.org, aims to support women technologists in building a community that promotes the advancement of women in computing. Through a cash prize, the program provides funding to women who are currently engaged in or wish to engage in computing-related projects that inspire and assist women around the world. Recipients of the award are encouraged to "pass on" the knowledge and benefits they receive, creating a network of women who support one another.
AnitaB.org's commitment to promoting diversity and providing equal opportunities is reflected in this year's PIO Award, which includes a $1,000 prize and a ticket to the 2023 Grace Hopper Celebration.
Applications for the award will be open from May 1st to June 5th at 5 p.m. PT (8 p.m. ET).
Selection Criteria
