"Women are underrepresented in the fields of science and technology, and we feel strongly that it is time to drive a change. It is important to connect the dots for young women in secondary schools and colleges, and show them that careers in science and technology are within their reach. And when women do land these jobs, it is vital they receive the mentoring and support they need to advance in their careers. I am proud BlackBerry is demonstrating leadership in women's education, both in school and in the workplace, and giving back to its most loyal users in such a profound way," said BlackBerry Global Creative Director Alicia Keys.
This Scholarship Programme is the first step in the BlackBerry's long-term commitment and multi-tiered strategy to engage young women at every step of their education from secondary school to college.....See More
