Kathy Pace Technology Scholarship Now Accepting Applications

Centre Technologies is now accepting applications for the Kathy Pace Technology Scholarship, a $5,000 scholarship open to any college student pursuing a degree in a technology-related field. The scholarship honors the late Kathy Pace, who strongly believed in supporting the community. As the role of technology changes, the next generation of technology professionals need to possess the compassion and commitment to use technology as a tool to improve the world we live in.

“My mom never cut corners, and so it's always been about hard work. A lot of what she taught us is the right things, not because we have to but because we want to," says Chris Pace, CEO of Centre. “We want to award this scholarship to a student who exemplifies our values. We’re a solution-driven and value oriented company, and we believe technology is a tool that should be used to help businesses and the community succeed together. The student who takes home this scholarship will be an innovator who wants to use technology to improve lives.”
