In a bid to increase the number of women working in tech and building new technologies, Udacity has teamed up with Google to launch the Women Techmakers Udacity Scholarship.
Women Techmakers is a global initiative by Google that provides visibility, community and resources for women in technology. The scholarship programme has been set up to help women learn web and mobile development skills through enrollment in Udacity’s Nanodegree programs which were built with top experts from Google. It will also offer 100 full scholarships for technical certification courses to women in the Women Techmakers community. From enrollment to job searching, Udacity says it will support its students throughout the learning journeys.
The scholarship is open to women who are at the beginning of their journey in tech, as well as to those already working in relevant fields, seeking to advance their skills in web and mobile development.
To be considered for the Women Techmakers Udacity Scholarship, applicants must:
- Be at least 18 years of age at the time the application is submitted
- Commit to finishing the Nanodegree program within one year
- Have fluency or near-fluency in English
- Meet Udacity’s technology requirements
