For more than two decades, the Young Technology Scholar Award has been given to students from schools across Utah and helped fund scholarships to further their education in pursuing a technology related degree. This year, eight students were awarded a total of $18,000.
To be considered for the Young Technology Scholars Award, recipients had to be highly involved in technology-related courses at their high school. The application process required students to submit an application, a résumé, two letters of recommendation, a transcript, an industry certification as well as answer two essay questions.
