” I am extremely grateful to be a recipient of the PLTW scholarship. PLTW was what first got me interested in working with computers back in high school. And the scholarship dollars here at Dunwoody have allowed me to really focus on my studies, instead of worrying about how I’ll pay for my tuition. “
