Girls Who Illustrate Awesomeness Scholarship

Last year, we launched Girls Who Illustrate Awesomeness, a scholarship for young women of color who are actively working to change the world. We received over 150 amazing applications from inspiring young women across the country. We’re thrilled to announce the winners and honorable mentions.

“I’m so excited to receive this scholarship! Right now I work 10+ hours a week while attending MIT in order to afford my education, and this money will absolutely help me. Being recognized for my work with teaching students how to code is also so encouraging. I want to use this opportunity to cultivate both my own learning and others’ potential.”
