We received over 100 applications for five scholarships. There were many difficult decisions, and in the end we added a scholarship and selected six. Here are your six S4x27 Women In ICS Security Scholarship winners:
A surprise for us this year. Over 50% of the applications came from women outside the US. You see this in the winners with two from the US, two from Mexico, one from Kenya, and one from Switzerland.
Our goal for this scholarship is to have S4x27 be a career altering event for our winners. We can only do this with the support of the S4x27 attendees and in particular the ambassador for each of the scholarship winners. We will be reaching out for women to be ambassadors later this month.
