ERICA FREEDMAN, SWITCHUP
2018/10/30
Below is a comprehensive list of bootcamp scholarships and discounts for women in tech:
Women working in science, tech, engineering, and math (STEM) careers currently represent a mere 20% of the job force. This gender gap has been a longstanding issue within the tech community. As a result, bootcamps have begun offering scholarships specifically targeted at self-identified women to help bridge this divide. SwitchUp takes pride in helping elevate the successes of women in these industries through Q + A’s, student spotlights and most importantly, through our resources. This comprehensive list makes it a bit easier for women to see the schools that are making gender diversity a priority. Scholarships, grants, and other opportunities are listed below. Let’s shatter the glass ceiling together!
