The Michigan Council of Women in Technology (MCWT) has a mighty mission: to make Michigan the No. 1 state for women in technology. Their goal is to engage and retain female professionals to transform the tech workforce into a more diverse one. They provide women with mentoring, leadership development, networking and technology experiences for varying levels throughout all levels of careers.
MCWT began in 2000 when a group of women in the IT sector wanted to create a networking and resource group for women. Today, the 501(c)(3) awards scholarships, hosts professional development programs and collaborates with high schools and colleges to provide mentoring programs.
As part of its mission to make Michigan the No. 1 state for women in tech, Michigan Council of Women in Technology (MCWT) awards annual academic scholarships.
