About the scholarship
Our science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) workforce is crucial to innovative capacity and global competitiveness; yet women are vastly underrepresented in STEM jobs and among STEM degree holders. The AUT School of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences offers this scholarship to women in recognition of the contributions of Graham Bidois who passed away in early 2015. Graham was the AUT Computer Sciences Programme Manager and organizer of AUT GirlTech. The scholarship is for women wishing to study the Bachelor of Computer and Information Sciences at the AUT South Campus. This campus is growing and campus located in the heart of the South Auckland community. The Computer and Information Sciences courses are practical and relevant and designed to give a world-class university education.
