For the second year, the Women of Teradata organization has funded the exclusive college scholarships for students pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering or math. Scholarship applicants were graduating high school women in a community where Teradata has an office and selection criteria included academic achievement, community involvement and financial need.

With the Women of Teradata scholarships, we're helping these young women realize their dream careers in these high-paying and professionally rewarding areas," Women of Teradata President Kathy Edmons said.
