You can make a difference

"Too many companies only look for qualified people with experience, without providing the support needed to produce those people."

Ebor Computing executives Bill Cumpston and Tony Carey know that this is a catch-22 many students face when they enter the workforce. With the establishment of the new Ebor Computer Science Scholarship to celebrate their 20th year in operation, students have the chance to get ahead before they graduate.

The Ebor Scholarship will give third year computer science or software engineering students the opportunity to study at the Honours level, including industry-based work experience, mentoring and casual work, as well as financial support for University expenses.

For Bill, the Scholarship is a great way to give back to the University. After graduating with Honours in Computer Science, and working for three years implementing the earliest computerised borrowing system in the Barr Smith Library, Bill founded Ebor Computing. He is committed to making sure today's students have access to the same high-quality education that gave him his start.
