*Hackergal is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion. We welcome the participation of girls, gender-diverse, non-binary, and/or two-spirit learners. We use an inclusive definition of “girls” and “women” and welcome the participation of all learners who identify as girls.

This Scholarship aims to:
  • Provide support to successful candidates as they pursue the next stage of their post-secondary education and/or career pathways in the tech industry.
  • Recognize candidates for their future potential to inspire positive change and innovation in the STEAM fields. A special emphasis is placed on those seeking to contribute to the inclusion of historically underrepresented demographics.
  • Foster opportunities for traditionally underrepresented communities in technology, including but not limited to intersectional identities related to ethnicity, gender, disability, and sexual orientation.
  • Strengthen Hackergal’s community of Canadian students who self-identify as a girl, gender-fluid, non-binary, and two-spirit to build a diverse and inclusive pipeline in STEAM.
