American CyberSystems (ACS) announced today that as part of its ACS Giving Program, two outstanding female high school graduates in the YWCA of Greater Atlanta’s Teen Girls in Technology (TGI Tech) program have each received a $10,000 college scholarship to assist in covering the cost of books and educational expenses. American CyberSystems helped to create and has been a strong proponent of the TGI Tech program since 2006.

Nita Sardana, a faithful volunteer, mentor, supporter and the wife of American CyberSystems’ CEO, Raj Sardana, has long taken a personal interest in the YWCA’s TGI Tech program. “Encouraging and inspiring local young women to enter the technology field is a way for ACS to invest in the future of Atlanta,” said Mrs. Sardana. “It’s been a rewarding experience for us to support such a worthy cause and make a difference in the lives of so many deserving youths. It has also brought a sense of responsibility to my own daughters as they remain actively involved in the program.”

“We are very proud to be the recipient of such generosity for so many years,” said Judy Brown-Fears, TGI Tech program director. “Mrs. Sardana has been a guardian angel to us and has stepped in so many times to ensure the young women in our program have the resources to explore advanced opportunities in science, technology, engineering and math.”

American CyberSystems has been an Atlanta-based company since 1998. In the past year, ACS and its workforce management subsidiary, HireGenics, have experienced explosive growth, nearly doubling in revenue to over $190 million. Currently, some 2,500 employees/contractors service the companies’ customers on a global basis.

American CyberSystems originally planned to offer one $5,000 scholarship to a high school graduate. However, due to the overwhelming number of entries and inspirational essays, the company decided to give two scholarships and increase the amount given.

The two scholarship winners will attend Agnes Scott College and the University of Georgia, respectively.
