“The DCA program provides a rich academic opportunity for the local community by providing informational technology (IT) scholarships for underrepresented people groups. Each year these scholarships empower individuals to earn industry-recognized credentials, which help in securing entry-level IT positions. Moreover, the DCA program is increasing the number of underrepresented individuals and helping them to experience first-hand the benefits of the exciting world of technology.”
