To promote the visibility and representation of black women pursuing degrees in computing, the TCGi Foundation Scholarship Fund supports relationships with important stakeholders.

A minimum of two $10,000 scholarships will be given by TCGI: one to a graduating high school senior who will attend a two- or four-year university, and the other to an undergraduate or graduate student who is presently enrolled in a four-year college.
