The NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing and the Indiana Affiliate selects and honors young women at the high-school level for their computing-related achievements and interests. Awardees are selected for their computing and IT aptitude, leadership, ability, academic history, and plans for post-secondary education.
Each Affiliate Award winner receives recognition at an Award event, an engraved award for both her and her school, scholarship and internship opportunities, access to a peer network of technical young women in the NCWIT Aspirations in Computing Community, and may receive various other prizes — computing resources, gadgets, sponsor-branded swag, and more.
