Easthampton, MA – August 2, 2007 – Atalasoft, Inc. has agreed to contribute to an annual scholarship fund for Western New England College, WNEC, in Springfield, Massachusetts.

"I would like to thank Atalasoft for funding these scholarships," says Ali Rafieymehr, chair, Computer Science and Information Technology at Western New England College. "Financial aid is so important to our students, and it is one of the priorities of the College's current comprehensive campaign."
