Row Zero Data Analytics Scholarship

Row Zero is offering a college scholarship of $1,000 to be awarded to one student each year pursuing an undergraduate or graduate course of study in a field focused on data analytics. The data scholarship is available to current and future students enrolled in a data analytics themed program. Analytical programs include but are not limited to accounting, economics, engineering, business, data analytics, data science, computer science, information systems, information science, or any other analytical field at a college or university anywhere in the United States or Canada.

Our Mission

Row Zero's mission is to bring the power of big data analysis to everyone. The most common data analysis tool in the world is the spreadsheet. The problem is as data sets have grown, the capabilities of legacy spreadsheets have stagnated, triggering a wave of analytics products that are complicated to learn, require knowledge of database and programming languages, priced as enterprise solutions rather than ubiquitous tools, and often too rigid to support complex models and processes commonly built in spreadsheets. We built Row Zero to let anyone with spreadsheet skills work with big data and share their analysis with their peers and business partners.

To that end, Row Zero also wants to support the next generation of analysts, scientists, and business leaders. The founders of Row Zero were both fortunate enough to receive college scholarships that helped lessen the financial burden of higher education. They turned their education and analytical skills into a successful career, starting and selling their first company and now pursuing the second. The founders remain appreciative of the value financial aid contributions to their education afforded them. The hope is this data scholarship helps out students with the same passion for analytical thinking. In addition, our Row Zero for Students program give students easy, free access to Row Zero.
