2024 Update: Through Represent Tech, we offer full-tuition scholarships for our Beginner Coding Bootcamp.

Last year, Galvanize announced the launch of a $1.8m “Opportunity Fund” to fund full, partial, and deposit-level scholarships for students who identify as Black or African-American to our full-time and part-time immersive programs in Software Engineering and Data Science.
According to Pew Research Center, Black workers continue to be underrepresented in the STEM workforce, making up 11% of the U.S. workforce overall but only representing 9% of STEM workers.
To help plan for a more equitable future in tech, we are proud to announce the We Stand Together Scholarship: a scholarship for students who identify as Black or African-American for our part-time or full-time immersive programs.
The We Stand Together Scholarship will provide up to five full-tuition scholarships for each cohort start date, through the next ten cohorts.
By participating in the Immersive bootcamps, scholarship recipients will have access to Galvanize’s career services staff, as well as an expansive alumni network. Scholarship Recipients will also be paired with a mentor as they start prep.
“Continuing education must be made more accessible to underrepresented groups in order to meaningfully increase diversity in the workplace,” said Dr. Sam Kline, our Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. “We’re excited to announce the We Stand Together Scholarship as a means of making steps toward a more inclusive tech industry.”
