We’re launching some exciting new scholarships to help under-represented talent get into tech

These support our mission to diversify tomorrow’s tech industry

We’re on a mission to transform lives through tech education. We believe that everyone should be able to embark on that journey so today we’re excited to announce new Represent Scholarships in partnership with the communities Coding Black Females, codebar and Women Who Code.

The scholarships will support members of these groups by providing reduced fees when applying for Makers and additional support in their tech education. There will also be the option to apply for a full scholarship place. Click here for information.

Only 17% of the UK tech sector is made up of women — only a 1% increase from five years ago. Additionally, only 2% are from a black, African, Caribbean or black British backgrounds.

With the support of our partners, we aim to reach talented people from underrepresented communities and support their journeys towards a career in tech.
