Kitware is excited to open the application window for our Open Door Scholarship. We launched this scholarship in 2021 and are committed to ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to pursue a degree in computer science and develop their passion for software engineering. We recognize that high school seniors considering a college degree may face a variety of financial or societal obstacles that make this goal seem unattainable. Kitware’s Open Door Scholarship offers financial support and mentorship to scholarship recipients to help them achieve their degree and enrich the field with their talent, skill, creativity, and perspective.

Program Overview:
Kitware will award one $5,000 scholarship for the 2026/2027 academic year to a talented high school senior pursuing an education in computer science. Scholarship recipients who continue to meet the eligibility requirements may renew their award annually, receiving up to $20,000 in total ($5,000 per year for four consecutive years).
