National University of Ireland, Maynooth - Intel Shannon Women in Technology Scholarship

General Description

The Intel Shannon Women in Technology Scholarship Program is funded through Intel. It was established to boost the presence and participation of women in technology-related courses at undergraduate level. To be eligible for the award students must be enrolled in an approved computer science, technology, or engineering course at a partner university. It is open to school leavers as well as current students who have completed two years of a specific degree course. The award is worth €3,000 per year for the entire duration of the undergraduate programme. An Intel mentor is also assigned to the successful students. They are also offered a place on the Intel Shannon Workplace programme. This work placement can be in the form of a co-placement or a summer internship. It is mandatory for all programme participants.
