Capture An Idea when It’s Young, Nurture It, and  Watch It Grow

The Young Innovators to Watch Scholarship Program awards middle school, high school, and college students for original technology projects, inventions, or discoveries. A group of experts in technology, entrepreneurship, and education judge the submitted works on a well-rounded set of criteria focused on long term viability and social good.


Since its inception in 2014, the program has awarded over 50 scholarships. Winners have gone on  to win patents, launch their own companies, gain entrance to the country’s best computer science and engineering degree programs, and forge new business partnerships.
