The Center for Women In Technology (CWIT) was established at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in July 1998.
[1] The original CWIT site included a large number of resources and links and served as a clearinghouse about women and information technology.
The Center for Women in Technology Scholars Program is a merit scholarship opportunity for talented undergraduates majoring in computer science, computer engineering, information systems or a related program.
[4] It is open to high school seniors planning to major in one of these areas of study.
Scholars in the program receive mentoring from university faculty and IT professionals as well as participate in specially designed activities and events.
