Three computer science students at The University of Texas at Dallas have been selected as the newest cohort of Axxess Scholars.

Endowed by a gift from Axxess, a Dallas-based health care technology company founded by John Olajide BS’04, the scholarship program is the largest for computer science students in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science.

Olajide, founder and CEO of Axxess and co-chair of New Dimensions: The Campaign for UT Dallas, began Axxess in 2007 and quickly grew the company to become one of the leading home health care technology providers worldwide.

The Axxess Scholars Program is designed to build upon the Jonsson School’s reputation for educating future leaders in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields.

“Jonsson School graduates are among our region’s greatest source of technical talent and innovation,” Olajide said. “Our new Axxess Scholars are incredibly skilled and motivated students, and I look forward to seeing what they will do in the future. Axxess is proud to help these scholars realize their potential.”

The 2022 Axxess Scholars are:

“I am very grateful to have received this scholarship and to work with some of the best professors, researchers and students at our school.”

“I am very proud to be one of the recipients of the Axxess Scholarship. Thank you for enabling me to reach my fullest personal and professional potential.”

“My hope is to make a positive impact for everyone and to use my skills to continuously innovate so that I can never stop learning. The Axxess Scholarship lets me focus on my schoolwork and professional development, and I will always be thankful to Axxess for providing it.”
