NCWIT (National Center for Women and Information Technology) Award for Aspirations in Computing

Montana Contest for Girls

For a number of years, the NCWIT (National Center for Women and Information Technology) has given national awards to high school girls.  The NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing is for young women with aspirations and achievements in technology and computing.

This year will be the fourth year that there also will be a MONTANA contest for Montana girls.  The time to submit applications is Sept. 1 through October 26 and the application is found at

There are many qualified high school girls that would apply if they just had a little push from a leader like you.  Any interested female high school student would need to fill in the on-line application, and get a parent and a school official to approve it to be entered into both the national and Montana contests.

We have had winners from Anaconda High School, Arlee High School, Beaverhead County High School, Big Sky High School, Bozeman High School, Capital High School, Cut Bank High School, Helena High School, Missoula Sentinel, Noxon High School and Park County High School.  We hope your school will represented on the winners list this year. But they have to apply.

We are looking forward to recognizing Montana's talent, and hope that you would encourage the young women that you know to apply. Sometimes all they need is a little encouragement and you are the person to provide that.
