Saloni Hajare, an Indian student studying computer systems engineering at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom, has received the prestigious Palantir women in technology scholarship. Every year, ten students are chosen and invited to participate in a professional development workshop that includes sessions and breakout discussions with Palantir engineers. Saloni will also receive a £5,500 grant to help her with her studies.
Commenting on her win, Saloni said, “I feel grateful I was able to receive this scholarship and get an opportunity to learn about careers in software engineering specifically, in a large organisation like Palantir. Being an international student, any monetary value that can support my education proves helpful. Along with the award, the experience of networking with like-minded students across the globe has been very rewarding”
She also added that the scholarship will motivate her to work hard and help her making informed decisions regarding her career choices. “Receiving the scholarship has opened my eyes to opportunities in the software engineering sector. I would like to make use of my modules to develop relevant skills and explore this sector more. Also, understanding, if I would like to pursue a career in software development, would help me make more informed decisions regarding module choices and my final year project."
The Palantir Women in Technology Scholarship encourages and recognises women who are just starting out in the field of technology. Palantir aspires to inspire women to pursue computer science, engineering, and technical studies and to become leaders in these fields.
It creates software that allows businesses to integrate their data, decisions, and operations into a single platform. Their software enables entire organisations to quickly answer complex questions by delivering the right data to the people who need it.
