Scholarship Description
At Amazon, supporting under-served students in their Computer Science education is not only important to us–it’s imperative to building a diverse tech industry and future. Our Amazon Future Engineer Scholarship program provides students an opportunity to upgrade their careers with a scholarship and a paid summer internship programming at Amazon. We gear this scholarship toward students from under-served and historically underrepresented communities; Black, Latinx, Native American, and Women who are low-income.
Applicants must have work authorization for two years and be high school seniors in the U.S. who are currently enrolled in or who have completed a high school or college dual degree course where Computer Science is the subject.
