Pass It On Awards Program
The Anita Borg Systers Pass It On Awards Program honors Anita Borg’s desire to create a network of women technologists helping each other. The cash award helps fund women in computing or projects that inspire and support girls and women to enter computing. We encourage recipients to “pass on” the benefits they gain from the award, creating a movement of women helping women.
These awards are funded by generous donations from Systers, our online community founded by Anita Borg in 1987, and other members of the community.
Applications
Any woman over 18 may apply, though she must be in or aspiring to be in computing fields. Awards range up to $1,000 USD.

- Assistance with with studies, job transfers, or other transitions in life

- Projects that seek to inspire more girls and women to go into the computing field
- Assistance with educational fees and materials
