With a growing interest in technology and telecommunications, I've been wondering if AT&T offers scholarships for students pursuing tech-related studies. Does anyone know if they have specific scholarships aimed at students who are looking into fields like computer science or engineering? It'd be great to know the details of such scholarships, including their eligibility criteria and deadline for application. Also, any experience from past applicants would be super helpful!
AT&T indeed offers scholarships, and many of them do support studies in tech-related fields. They have been actively engaged in fostering talent in fields like computer science, engineering, and telecommunications.
One of their notable scholarship programs is the AT&T Labs Research Program. This scholarship includes a 10-week summer internship and is aimed at underrepresented minorities and women who are seniors or freshmen graduates in the field of computer science, among other related disciplines.
The eligibility criteria typically require the applicant to be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and a full-time student studying in a field related to AT&T's business such as computer science, software engineering and information systems. Good academic standing is also a common requirement. However, the specific eligibility criteria may vary among different scholarship programs they offer.
Typically, applications for these scholarships open towards the end of the year, but it’s crucial to check their website or contact them directly for the most accurate deadline.
Past applicants often advise that in addition to demonstrating academic excellence, it's important to show your commitment to diversity and inclusion, as well as a passion for innovation in technology. This can be conveyed through your essays and letters of recommendation.
While this provides a starting point, I highly recommend visiting the AT&T website and reaching out to their scholarship department for the most current and detailed information. The availability of scholarships and the specific eligibility criteria may change from year to year.
