Announcing the recipients of the 2017 Quip Diversity Scholarship
The time is here: We're proud to announce the recipients of the 2017 Quip Diversity Scholarship!
We received hundreds of stellar applications after announcing the scholarship in March. We were blown away by the thoughtfulness, contributions, and achievements that we read about, as well as the odds and obstacles that many students have overcome.
There were a tremendous number of deserving applicants, making for a contentious selection process. But in the end, we had to choose just five winners, and five runners-up. The individuals below are exemplary in their hard work, perseverance, commitment to diversity, and potential to make technology better.
