The DO-IT Scholars Program is intended for Washington students with disabilities who are sophomores or juniors in high school. DO-IT scholars are selected because they have an expressed interest in science, engineering, mathematics, and technology and are interested in pursuing postsecondary education. During the initial phase of the program, DO-IT scholars are provided computers, any required adaptive technology, and personal internet accounts for use in their homes. During the summer study session, DO-IT scholars come together to participate in a series of workshops related to science, technology, math, and engineering. Some attention is also paid to college preparation and personal development.
