What Is AAWCS?
The African-American Women in Computer Science (AAWCS) program provides financial, academic and professional support to women enrolled in the Computer and Information Sciences (CIS) department at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, in an effort to:
1. serve as a financial incentive to continue matriculation to the baccalaureate degree;
2. create a significant support structure within the department to strengthen academic ability and awareness of career paths in the computing disciplines;
3. build a sense of identity and unity among underrepresented women in the computer science (CS) and information technology (IT) fields; and
4. expose the students to graduate programs and corporate laboratory environments to provide them with better opportunities for success in the field upon graduation.
While African-American women are the focus group for the program, the program will not be limited to African-Americans, but will seek to service all groups of women enrolled in CS or IT.
Financial Support Provided:
• 19 undergraduate FAMU CIS students selected as AAWCS Scholars per year
