DEADLINE: December 12, 2018
Women earn almost 60% of all bachelor's degrees in the United States, but they earn only 20% of computer science degrees, 20% of physics degrees, and 18% of engineering degrees. And estimates show that by 2018, the U.S. will face a shortage of more than one million STEM workers. This presents an enormous opportunity to better support young women in pursuing STEM-related careers, and Zenefits is committed to being part of the solution.
Eligibility
The Advancing Women in STEM Scholarship is open to women who are 18 years of age or older, legal residents of one of the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia, and who complete the scholarship application online at www.zenefits.com/scholarship/ .
