Deadline: October 15, 2014
Applications are now open for the Anita Borg Systers Pass-It-On (PIO) Awards, which honor Anita Borg’s desire to create a network of women technologists helping one another. The cash awards, funded by donations from the Systers Online Community and others, are intended as means for women established in technological fields to support women seeking their place in the fields of technology. The program is called “Pass-It-On” because it comes with the moral obligation to “pass on” the benefits gained from the award.
Awards: The awards range from $500.00 to $1000.00 USD
