ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR YOUTH ----------
The Technology Leadership Institute is a six week pre-college program at the University of Pittsburgh designed for minority and underrepresented high school students interested in computers and technology. The students will take classes in computer programming, web design, mathematics and computer systems. The classes are supplemented by workshops on college, careers and academic success. We are looking for students entering grades 10 - 12 next fall and who are interested in exploring Computer Science.
Did I forget to mention -- we provide scholarships (full and partial) for all students. Last year we were able to provide full scholarships to all of our stud ents! Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until May 1, 2007. It is never too early to start the application. We strongly encourage students to apply early - spaces are limited To learn more about TLI and the application process, visit: www.cs.pitt.edu/tli. Please forward this opportunity to any high school students you may know or work with, as well as your colleagues.
