The 2024 AMAZON FUTURE ENGINEER SCHOLARSHIP SOCIAL is on Tuesday, Nov. 12, 6-7:30pm @ Amazon’s HQ2, and I’d love for you and your students to join us. Earlier this year, we awarded 46 winners from across DC, MD, and VA (check out the video at the end of the email) and we hope to have an even bigger group of winners in 2025 by encouraging applications from as many local high school seniors as possible. Students must demonstrate financial need to qualify.
