Apply for the Systers Pass It On Awards and become part of a thriving community transforming the landscape of computing for women worldwide.

The Systers Pass It On Awards Program, established by AnitaB.org, aims to support women technologists in building a community that promotes the advancement of women in computing.

Through a cash prize, the program provides funding to women who are currently engaged in or wish to engage in computing-related projects that inspire and assist women around the world. Recipients of the award are encouraged to “pass on” the knowledge and benefits they receive, creating a network of women who support one another.

AnitaB.org’s commitment to promoting diversity and providing equal opportunities is reflected in this year’s PIO Award, which includes a $1,000 prize and a ticket to the 2023 Grace Hopper Celebration.
