Prakash Lobo of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock; Fabrice
Mizero of Philander Smith College and Thierry Kimenyi of Hendrix

“To be recognized for my passion and dedication to my studies in
information technology is such an honor,” said Fabrice Mizero,
senior at Philander Smith College. “The scholarship will go a long
way towards my future goals. I am excited about the opportunity to
be an intern at Acxiom, a company that promotes diversity and
inclusion in the workplace.”

veterans and individuals with disabilities – who are
under-represented in the field of information technology.
Recipients are selected based on their field of study, relevant
areas of professional interest and academic achievement, which
