Greetings!

NCWIT is pleased to announce that the Aspirations in Computing (AiC) High School Award is now accepting high school students' applications through October 28, 2025! 

Please help us spread the word to your students!

Educators, counselors, after-school mentors, and school administrators play an invaluable role in encouraging students to pursue their interests in computing and technology. The NCWIT Aspirations in Computing (AiC) program understands this. AiC provides students with ongoing engagement, visibility, and encouragement for their computing-related interests and achievements from high school through college and into the workforce. There are HS award designations for ALL levels of technical ability, including students with little to no experience. 

The AiC HS Award honors students for their computing-related achievements and interests and encourages them to pursue their passions. 

• Application period: September 1, 2025 - October 28, 2025

• Encourage a student to apply by using our encouragement form

 

Our Spread The Word page contains more information about the awards - please share!
