India

The Women Enhancing Technology (WeTech) Qualcomm Global Scholars program is a partnership between the Institution of International Education and Qualcomm that invests in young women and future leaders in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).

WeTech believes that providing young women university scholarships for degrees in the technology sector has tremendous impact on their retention and success rate in their chosen field, at a time when the global tech industry desperately needs more women educated, trained and entering into tech careers. Combining this financial support with a 6-month structured mentorship program will also enable these women to connect with professionals working in the field who can provide them with valuable advice, guidance, and support to ensure their success as they enter into technical careers after graduation. 

Scholarships will be issued to university students from eligible universities in India in the amount of $2,000 for the 2018 school year. The scholarship recipients will also be expected to complete a 6-month virtual mentorship from March through August 2018. Scholars will be connected with experienced mentors from Qualcomm. Upon successful completion of the virtual mentorship students will receive an academic scholarship to assist with the cost of undergraduate education
