Hi @CourtneyThurston ,
I came across your post in this thread about scholarships:
http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/other-major-scholarships-competitions/1894488-scholarship-help.html
can you please let me know more information like the how to apply and the website for following scholarships:
- VIP Consulting Women in Tech Scholarship or VIP Women in Tech Scholarship (not sure if both are same or different).
- Intertech Scholarship
- MENSA Scholarships – is this merit based?
- SWE Scholarships
Also I noticed your posts on NCWIT awards. Do honorable mentions get any scholarships or prizes?

Any recognition level is eligible for scholarships at partner colleges. There’s a list of scholarships and such on the NCWIT AiC website (aspirations.org). Honorable mention prizes depend on where you live, as affiliate coordinators decide on that. Some give the same amount of stuff, some don’t give much at all, it’s hit or miss. The recognition and networking alone is the valuable part though (join the awardee facebook group for sure). Good luck
