Howard University recently received a USD four million gift from the Hopper-Dean Foundation to fund the Howard University Bison STEM Scholars Program (BSSP). The generous gift will provide 10 computer science or computer engineering students with a full-ride scholarship for four years. In addition to eliminating the financial burden for students, the gift will support the expansion of Howard’s STEM education program. The gift marks Howard’s largest gift received from a foundation to date.
Jeffrey Dean, the lead AI Director at Google, and his wife Heidi Hopper created this charitable orgainisation to support programs that promote diversity in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
At ITS, we have been working with AI Academy. AI Academy provides online and on-site AI, STEM & Coding classes for students ages 5 — 18. Students leave the program with confidence in pursuing artificial intelligence and computer science and knowledge of how to build chat-bot, videogames, apps, and websites.
