Women Forward in Technology Scholarship Program

Distil Networks

Our mission is to help women who are pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees in STEM programs to achieve their education goals, an objective which has the added long-term benefit of improving the diversity in STEM careers at large.

We strongly believe in education and improving diversity within the tech-startup community. Unfortunately, this community has continued to struggle with providing equal opportunity. According to the Census Bureau's latest American Community Survey, women comprise 48% of the U.S. workforce but just 24% of STEM workers. And while women receive over half of the bachelor’s degrees awarded in the biological sciences, they receive far fewer in the computer sciences (17.9%), engineering (19.3%), physical sciences (39%) and mathematics (43.1%), per the National Science Foundation.
