About Computer Science Scholarships

The technology sector is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects a It is expected that the demand for computer and information research scientists will increase by 23% between 2022 and 2032, a rate significantly above the average growth for all job roles.

Meanwhile, The total number of jobs for software developers, quality assurance analysts, and testers is anticipated to rise by 25% from 2022 to 2032, a pace that greatly exceeds the average for all professions. It should come as no surprise then that computer science jobs are the #1 source of new wages in the US.

In 2021, New York, NY, Los Angeles, CA, and San Diego, CA had the highest number of Computer Science graduates, while Fairfield, IA, Lacey, WA, and Hoboken, NJ also saw a significant number of degree recipients in this field. The most frequently awarded degree in Computer Science was a bachelor's degree.

Why Are Tech Scholarships So Important?

As the world becomes more reliant on technology, the tech sector is rapidly growing and is in need of more skilled workers. By 2030, the TMT industry (technology, media, telecommunications) is expected to be short 4.3 million workers, which could be fixed with an increase of computer science students.

Many students are drawn to STEM fields due to the higher salaries, as the average STEM professional earns approximately 24-26% more than a non-STEM professional with similar education. However, pursuing a college degree is expensive, which can discourage prospective students, especially those who are low-income, from enrolling and pursuing these high-paying fields.

Additionally, many STEM and computer engineering professionals complete even more education, as approximately 29% have a doctorate, master’s, or other higher education degree. For college students, earning a graduate computer science degree can make you more competitive in your field, but makes attaining said degree even more expensive.

The overwhelming costs of college can deter bright computer science students from enrolling in higher education and pursuing their dreams in the industry, slowing innovation and the development of technology for the better.

At Bold.org, we are committed to making higher education accessible for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students involved in computer science programs through unique scholarship opportunities. Computer science scholarship opportunities like the ones below are vital in supporting students throughout their education so that they can go on to fill important computer science and technology jobs.

Apply as Early as Possible

Bold.org is consistently posting new scholarships, giving new opportunities often. There are many scholarships that open and are due within the span of only a couple of months.

The sooner you look for scholarships, the more will be available to you, and the more you will be able to apply to later. Applying early allows you to get the most out of Bold.org's scholarships, leaving time for you to space out your applications and apply for more scholarships.

Apply to as Many Scholarships as Possible

The more scholarships you apply to, the more likely you will be to win one. You won't win every scholarship you apply to, so applying to many will give you your best chance of earning financial aid through scholarships. This will also give you the chance to get used to how scholarships are set up so that you have more experience and can do even better in the future.

Pick Scholarships with More Eligibility Requirements

Scholarships with more specific eligibility requirements have fewer applicants. With fewer people applying to the more individualized scholarships, you have a better chance of securing one of these scholarships. The narrower pool of submissions will help your chances, so look to apply for more specific scholarships that you qualify for.
