The Information Technology Research Institute at the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas is accepting applications from female high school students in Arkansas for the 2017-18 National Center for Women & Information Technology Aspirations in Computing Award.

The winning students will receive an award for themselves and their school and will have the opportunity to receive scholarships and internships, and access to peer networks.
