This is especially concerning considering how poor of job public schools are doing for boys already. There's an absolutely massive gender gap in college enrollments (~59% female to 41% male) and yet more and more organizations are making "scholarships" of this sort. It's already ethically troubling to reward people based on their anatomy, but doing so in high school to the detriment of an already severely marginalized group is reprehensible.

For boys coming from the poorer half of family backgrounds, a non-traditional path in tech is often their best or even only credible shot at a middle-class life.
