We were thrilled to recognize the following students! We were so impressed by their work promoting diversity, the obstacles they have overcome, their thoughtfulness in their responses, and their successes.

Each recipient was invited to visit the Quip office in San Francisco for full day of learning, mentorship, and meeting the team (all expenses paid). Winners received $5000 towards their education, and runners-up received $1000.

Congratulations!
