Announcing the 2021 Diversity Scholarship Winners

By Deepak Palanivelu, Hao Sun

It’s time! We are happy to announce the 6th annual recipients of the 2021 Quip Diversity Scholarship!

After announcing the scholarship back in August, we received close to 100 applications. We were blown away by the applicants’ thoughtfulness, experiences, achievements, and creativity.

There were many well-deserving candidates, which made the selection process especially difficult for us. In the end, we did have to choose five winners and five runners-up. The individuals below exemplify hard work, perseverance, and the potential to make technology a more diverse and inclusive place.
