Presenting the 2025 Alabama Data Scholars

With support from Innovate Alabama, QuantHub is proud to announce the 2nd cohort of Alabama Data Scholars.

Scholars were competitively selected by participating employers from a pool of more than 800 talented candidates to explore careers in data science, data analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) through hands-on summer internship projects in summer 2025. During the 8-week summer program, Scholars will also participate in upskilling and enrichment designed to prepare them for success in higher education and Alabama’s workplace of tomorrow.

Congratulations to the 2025 Alabama Data Scholars!
