VIP 2017 Women in Technology Scholarship Winners!

The WITS program, now celebrating its tenth year, offers multiple scholarships to women pursuing a career in computer science, information technology (IT), management information systems, computer engineering, or another related field. Inspired by her own journey as a woman in technology, Visionary Integration Professionals CEO Jonna Ward launched the inaugural WITS program in 2007 to encourage and support young women interested in technology fields.

“It is an honor to have supported the upcoming great minds in the technology industry over the past decade,” said Ward. ”After reviewing this year’s remarkable candidates, I am excited to see what the next ten years has in store for women in tech.”  Jonna Ward, CEO
