Scholarship Recipients

Scholarship Recipients

At AWTC, we empower, advance, and recognize women who champion technology in associations. That’s why, in 2024, we were proud to launch a scholarship program to support members of our community with costs related to their professional development.

We’re excited to introduce you to our scholarship recipients!
