Washington State is witnessing significant changes in its economy, driven largely by advancements in technology. As a result, there is a growing need for skilled workers in the tech industry, which is critical to maintaining the state's competitive edge. The Evergreen State Faith Education Grants directly address this need by providing financial support to students who wish to pursue degrees in technology at faith-based colleges.
The students who benefit from these grants often come from diverse backgrounds, with a notable representation of those from low-income families or underrepresented communities in technology.
