[Esther Schindler]

Of interest to several women here, I expect. Feel free to forward the  
info to anyone whom you think might be interested!

Systers Pass-It-On awards program is accepting applications till May  
12th

Hello friends,
Do you know women or girls who need a little help "making it" in  
computing? Please take a look at http://anitaborg.org/files/Systers_PIO_Poster_Spring_2010.pdf 
  .

The Systers group (part of the Anita Borg Institute) accepts  
applications twice a year for small "grants" of financial aid to women  
or girls from around the world. Several awards are given each round,  
providing a little boost to help students, Girl Scout troops,  
conference attendees, third-world individuals, training classes....you  
name it! It's a marvelous program.

The recipients "pass it on" by giving back to their community in some  
way that also helps women or girls in computing.

Look on the website for stories of past award winners and see how much  
good a very small investment can make. It's impressive.

Also, if you'd like to be a Syster, it's a great supportive online  
group for women in any computer-related field. We have an  
international email group with threaded discussions on any topic that  
involves women+computers. Newcomers welcome, no cost but a penny for  
your thoughts.
