Datadog is on a mission to help break down silos in the tech industry. This includes systematic and cultural silos that have historically prohibited underrepresented communities access - specifically those who identify as women or non-binary and members of the Black and Latinx communities. As part of an effort to open new pathways to those groups, we created the Upward Scholarship for US high school seniors interested in majoring in computer sciences or related fields. The scholarship consists of $15K and mentorship as they navigate the tech space in college and beyond.
