VIP Announces 2nd Annual Women in Technology Scholarship (WITS) Program.

FOLSOM, Calif. – March 10, 2009 – Visionary Integration Professionals (VIP) announced today the call for applicants for its second annual Women in Technology Scholarship (WITS). The program was established to support and encourage young women seeking a career in the computer science and technology fields.  This year, VIP intends to award ten scholarships of $1,000 each to students who are either accepted to or enrolled in an accredited college or university, and are planning a career in information technology. Scholarships are available wherever VIP has offices in the United States.  These locations include the metropolitan areas of Sacramento, Washington DC, Houston, New York City, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Denver. 

“We are excited to renew our commitment to this program this program this year,” said President and CEO, Jonna Ward.  “The program is a natural extension of VIP’s story.  I wish that more scholarships like this had been available when I was in college and preparing for a career.”

“We are delighted to be building on the success of last year’s fledgling WITS program,” said Vince J. Juaristi, Executive Vice President for VIP’s National Government Practice, who also serves as Chairman of VIP’s Community Services Committee.  “We were able to provide assistance and encouragement to a variety of deserving students last year, and look forward to extending that support this year.”
