At Code Fellows, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to develop. In reality, many qualified candidates aren’t pursuing careers in a technology-related field because they are discouraged somewhere along the way. Some lose interest because they lack role models or encouragement, and others avoid tech or STEM careers because they perceive workplaces to be unfriendly or outright hostile.
The percentages of coders who are women (less than 20 percent), African American (less than 3 percent), or Hispanic or Latino (less than 2 percent) are shockingly low compared to their place in the general population. The low number of veterans moving into tech-related jobs is also surprising considering the leadership and problem-solving skills they can bring.
The market needs more women and underrepresented populations in the tech industry for numerous reasons: for employers, more diversity in tech means an expanded talent pool, improved team culture, and better products; for employees, tech jobs provide a path to high-paying, rewarding careers.
For these reasons and more, we’ve created the Code Fellows Diversity Scholarship Fund.
As an accelerated learning program, Code Fellows offers fast-paced, life-changing training that taps into the potential of ambitious, talented programmers. In months, not years, we help students change their lives and employers meet their hiring needs.
Scholarships from the Diversity Scholarship Fund are need-based, covering up to 70 percent of tuition for recipients. Individuals from underserved backgrounds are eligible to apply for scholarships from this fund. Scholarships are awarded based on financial need and the applicant's ability to meet requirements of both the course and scholarship application.
If you'd like to apply for a Diversity Scholarship, please ask your Admissions Counselor during your initial phone interview to send you a link to the scholarships application. Scholarships are awarded based on need, and we'll let you know two weeks before the start of class if you've received a scholarship toward our program. You are eligible to apply for a scholarship for every course (even if you've received one in the past).
