BURLINGTON, Mass., June 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Progress (Nasdaq: PRGS), the trusted provider of infrastructure software, today announced the 2022 recipients of the Mary Sz kely Scholarship for Women in STEM (US) and the Women in Tech Scholarship (Bulgaria), both part of the larger Progress Women in STEM Scholarship series. Established in 2019, the scholarship series was created to increase the global representation of those who identify as women in the fields of computer science, software engineering, IT and/or computer information systems and to ease the burden of educational costs for deserving women studying to pursue careers in STEM fields.
Every year we have the honor of speaking with a group of phenomenal young women, all of whom want to pursue a career in STEM because they seek to make an impact, said Yogesh Gupta, CEO, Progress. This year's candidates are no exception. They are incredibly bright, ambitious and socially responsible. We're confident they will succeed in achieving their goals, and we are so proud that we get to play a small part in helping them do so.
Mary Sz kely Scholarship for Women in STEM
In honor of Mary Sz kely, one of Progress' founders and creator of Progress OpenEdge application development platform, the Progress Software Mary Sz kely Scholarship for Women in STEM is a 4-year renewable scholarship for Massachusetts residents who identify as women and are planning to major in computer science, software engineering, IT and/or computer information systems.
This year's recipient, Yiming Fang, is a graduate of the Massachusetts Academy of Math and Science, Worcester, MA and will double major in computer science and business administration at Carnegie Mellon. A National Honor Society member, Yiming excelled academically and during her high school years was founder and captain of her school's first all-girls robotics team. She was also part of project teams that created a mobile app serving the visually impaired and worked to develop a mobile app helping diabetes patients monitor their blood pressure and glucose levels.
Outside of school, Yiming founded a Scratch coding club for third graders and later expanded the scope of the club to become a formal non-profit organization-Free Urban Extracurricular Learning (FUEL). In addition, she participated in VRC Robotics Community Service where she raised funds for the Malala Fund, mentored an elementary school VEX IQ team, the world's largest robotics competition, and started a VEX mentoring series for middle schoolers.
Women in Tech Scholarship Program, Bulgaria
Expanded in 2022, the Women in Tech Scholarship Program in Bulgaria now includes two new annual scholarships for women in their second, third or fourth year at accredited universities studying computer science, software engineering, IT and/or computer information systems or similar fields. This year's recipients are both exemplary students and participants in Europe's Erasmus+ Youth Exchange program.

She has interned at technology companies including Europweb Group, Bisoft and Orak Engineering.
