Aspirations in Computing is a talent development pipeline initiative of the National Center for Women & IT. It is designed to increase women’s participation in technology careers by providing encouragement, visibility, community, enrichment opportunities, scholarships, and internships to aspiring technically inclined young women. Over 90 percent of participants now in college report majoring in traditionally male-dominated STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields of computer science & engineering.  Details: www.aspirationsaward.org

Since its inception five years ago, the program has mentored 1319 young women throughout the U.S. and built a database of more than 10,000 young women that self-identify as interested in technology fields.  The program is scaling up significantly and is expected to serve 1000 girls in 2012-13 through 54 local Affiliate programs. Aspirations in Computing participants are reflective of our diverse populations with 59% describing themselves as non-white or of mixed race, and 10% coming from schools with 40% or more students on free and reduced lunch.

Aspirations in Computing provides a 360°-mentoring environment, in which girls receive support, encouragement and opportunities from NCWIT, peers, K-12 educators, academic institutions and industry partners. Eighty-eight (88%) percent of participants now in college report a major or minor in traditionally male-dominated fields of engineering and computer science and participants report;
» increased interest in technology fields,
» increased confidence in their technical potential,
» increased awareness of opportunities for women in technology,
» and decreased apprehension about entering a male-dominated field.

Aspirations in Computing is currently open to high school level young women who are US residents, including US territories and girl residing at US military installations overseas. We hope to expand internationally in the future and if you are interested in partnering, please email .

As part of a long-standing commitment to higher education in science and technology, AT&T Labs offers two programs to graduate students: summer internships and three-year (ALFP) fellowships.

Long committed to higher education in science and technology, AT&T Labs - Research offers summer internships to graduate students with an interest and experience on working on research problems. Click here for research areas.

Each summer, research interns from universities all over the US come to AT&T Labs Research for 10 weeks to work with technical staff members on research projects, presenting talks of their work at the end of summer. Learn about one intern's summer experience in Inside the Labs: A Summer Intern Making A Difference.

Applicants for summer internship may be members of an existing university collaboration or may apply as individuals. Candidates are typically graduate students but advanced undergraduates will also be considered in exceptional cases. All other applicants or anyone interested in learning more about other internships with AT&T, visit the AT&T corporate employment pages (www.att.jobs).

Housing can be arranged for students at nearby universities according to the universities’ summer schedules (typically first week of June to mid August). Students may also arrange their own accommodations, usually by renting a room in a local home. (Opportunities for short-term apartment rentals may be limited.) Summer interns pay for their own housing; however, AT&T Labs covers the costs for travel within the United States

Internship eligibility qualifications:

• Currently enrolled, or planning to enroll, in a graduate school program leading to a PhD.
• Major field must be in computer science, math, statistics, electrical engineering, operations research, systems engineering, industrial engineering, or related fields.
• Students must have a US social security number. US citizenship or residency is NOT a requirement.
