Career and Technical Education (CTE) of St. Johns County

Message from Paris!

I am honored to share that I have been awarded the Citi of Jacksonville Scholarship—a scholarship dedicated to supporting young women in tech as they pursue higher education in computer science. This award goes directly towards my college tuition, and I am truly grateful for the doors it opens.

A heartfelt thank you to Citi for not only this scholarship, but also for the experiences and knowledge I gained as a former intern. Your commitment to supporting women in technology is inspiring and it has made a lasting impact on my journey.

I also want to express my gratitude to Bartram Trail High School’s I.T. Academy for introducing me to the Citi Women in I.T. (WIT) program. Your guidance and encouragement have been significant to my growth, and I would not be here without your support.

As I look forward to college, I am excited to use the tools and resources provided to me to make the most of every opportunity. Thank you to all of my mentors, teachers, friends, and family who made this possible. Here’s to the next chapter!
