BlackBerry Scholars Program

Back at BlackBerry Live, Alicia Keys announced a new full scholarship program for young women entering technical programs in science, technology, engineering, or math.

Those that are chosen will have their full four year tuition paid for, provided they're starting their academic career in the 2013 - 2014 year.
