Praxis Women in Tech (WiT) Scholarships
Praxis WiT (Women in Tech) Scholarships is an initiative to encourage and support greater women’s participation in tech and data careers. This is in line with our belief that gender diversity in the workforce, especially in tech, brings immense value to the organization, the economy, and society.
The Praxis Women in Tech (WiT) Scholarship will be awarded to all selected women aspirants applying for the Praxis PG Program in Data Science
Why Women in Tech:
- Digital is largely about tech and data and people proficient in tech and data are poised to play leadership roles in shaping our world
- Women are acutely under-represented in the fields of tech and data, despite global conversations on gender diversity in the workforce
- The world needs more tech and data talent and women can fill this gap and drive sustainable careers and financial independence
- Decades of research suggests that diversity leads to enhanced innovation and problem solving and more women in tech implies better solutions to global problems.
