University of Connecticut School of Engineering, in partnership with 30 nonprofit universities across the country and our partner 2U, is expanding access to our boot camp courses in Coding through a $3 million Boot Camp Scholarship Fund. 

Underrepresented people of color and women who have experienced recent job loss or economic hardship are eligible to apply for $2,500 towards the cost of a course. Our boot camp courses have advanced the careers of diverse learners in highly relevant technology fields, and we’re excited to be a part of an effort to expand pathways to work for those who have been affected most.

More than 40 million Americans have filed for unemployment as a result of the pandemic, and the economic devastation has disproportionately affected people of color and women. With unprecedented interest in this space and a growing need to fill technology-focused jobs, these scholarship opportunities will provide important pathways to secure employment.
