With the name TechGirls, the “Girls with Technology 2023” scholarship requires female students to have good English skills, currently studying at grades 10 and 11 at Vietnamese high schools. These girls should also have an interest in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) field and want to enter college, university or a career in technology. The chosen girls need to show their leadership capability via academic results and contribution towards community.

The program will take place during July and August 2023 at Virginia Tech University (USA). About 111 female girls from 35 countries and 25 U.S. female girls will spend four weeks in the U.S. and join a seven-month program before and after completing the scholarship program.

Attendees will participate in a camp on interactive technology and computers; then go to one of the following cities, such as Austin, Chicago, Cincinnati, Denver, Detroit, Portland or Seattle to join an internship at tech companies. Meanwhile, they will also have an opportunity to enjoy native life in the U.S. as well as social activities in the area. After finishing the program, they will participate in a project for community designed by them and sponsored by the U.S. Department of State.

The program aims to connect and support the next generation of women leaders in science, technology, engineering, and math by providing them the opportunity and approach to improve their skills and pursue their dreams.

The U.S. will offer three scholarships to Vietnamese students. Entries should be sent from now to 23:00 on December 16, 2022.
