Many coding bootcamps provide scholarships for self-identifying women to cover all or part of tuition and living expenses. We’re passionate about getting more women into tech and have partnered with organizations such as Women Who Code, Girl Develop It, Lesbians Who Tech, and Fairygodboss.
Currently we offer scholarships to all self-identifying women who enroll in our Web Development Bootcamp. This includes a $600 women’s scholarship for our Flexible Web Development Bootcamp and a $1200 women’s scholarships for our Full-time Web Development Bootcamp.
