Row Zero Data Analytics Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Row Zero
Overview
Row Zero will grant a $1,000 scholarship each year to one student who is pursuing undergraduate or graduate study in a data analytics–focused discipline. The award is open to students (including incoming or newly enrolled students) at colleges or universities in the United States or Canada studying programs centered on analytics. Eligible fields include, but are not limited to: accounting, economics, engineering, business, data analytics, data science, computer science, information systems, information science, or any similar analytical major.
Our purpose
Row Zero’s goal is to make powerful data analysis accessible to everyone. Spreadsheets remain the most widely used analytical tool, yet as datasets have grown, traditional spreadsheet tools have not kept pace. That gap has spawned complex analytics platforms that often require database or programming expertise, are priced for enterprises, and can be inflexible compared with spreadsheet-driven workflows. Row Zero was created so people who know spreadsheets can work with big data and easily share their analyses with colleagues and partners.
Why we support students
The founders of Row Zero benefited from scholarships during their own educations, which helped ease the financial burden of college. They used those opportunities to build analytical careers, founding and selling a first company and now launching a second. Out of gratitude for the support they received, Row Zero wants to give back by encouraging the next generation of analysts, scientists, and business leaders. In addition to this scholarship, Row Zero for Students provides no-cost access to the Row Zero platform for eligible students.
