Although Latinos represent 28% of the total population in Silicon Valley, only 3% are in the high-tech workforce. With 39% of the K-12 student population identified as Latino, we know their talents and perspectives have the potential to transform STEM fields. We seek to do more than level the playing field. We aim to change it.
Supporting Latinos in Tech
Since the start of the program in 2016, we have supported 545 scholars to date and awarded over 800 scholarships. The Latinos in Technology Scholarship supports Latino college students in 3 ways:
- Financial. We financially support third and fourth-year undergraduate Latino students who have declared a major in a STEM-related field at a 4-year university with scholarships of up to $6,000 renewable for up to 3 years for a total of up to $18,000.
- Professional Development. Latinos in Technology scholars have the opportunity to participate in our Career Launch Academy, Conexiones Mentorship Program, and other career prep and professional skill-building workshops to develop themselves as young professionals.
- Internships. We actively work to pipeline our scholars into summer internship programs with our investors.
