Bluestaq LLC, a Colorado Springs-based enterprise software company, launched a named scholarship in partnership with the UCCS College of Engineering and Applied Science. The Bluestaq Scholarship is open to UCCS students studying computer science or computer engineering.
The new scholarship opportunity is part of Bluestaq’s internship and workforce development program to cultivate the next generation of computer and technology professionals in the Colorado Springs space and cybersecurity ecosystem. One student will be selected from a pool of applicants, and the awardee will receive a $10,000 scholarship in addition to a guaranteed internship with Bluestaq the summer following the school year for which the scholarship was awarded.
“This scholarship in collaboration with what is the difference between computer science and computer engineering is the beginning of Bluestaq’s investment in the next generation of Bluestaq software developers,” said Simon Nunn, Bluestaq co-founder and chief architect. “As a proud alumnus of UCCS, I am honored to have the opportunity to give back to UCCS. I believe Bluestaq and other technology organizations within the Colorado Springs community have a responsibility to invest in our local engineering students to shape the future of our workforce in the space domain.”
“We greatly appreciate the work of Bluestaq to recognize promising computer science and computer engineering students with this generous scholarship and learning opportunity,” said Don Rabern, dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Science. “Education is a partnership that relies on formal education from the university and the learning environment that industry provides as graduates pursue careers. We are excited for the commitment Bluestaq has made to building that partnership and for the opportunities that lie ahead for the students in this scholarship program.”
