You Belong In Tech Scholarship
V School has teamed up with Sustainable Startups and META to offer scholarships to under-represented groups interested in pursuing careers in technology.
You Belong In Tech Scholarship
Sustainable Startups, META, and V School are excited to announce a new scholarship opportunity: You Belong in Tech: 100% funding for V School’s online program in UX/UI design or web development, career development training, and job search assistance.
Women do not have the same opportunities as men in the tech industry. We aim to bridge that gap by providing training opportunities so that they can master the skills that will help them advance in the tech industry.
With “You Belong in Tech,” our goal is to provide unique, experience-based, and mastery-based career training that will lead to opportunities in the tech industry for underrepresented communities in Utah.
How does the full-ride Scholarship work?
Who is eligible: To be eligible, you must be a woman residing in the Utah valley.
Start date: May 23, 2022
