There are two phases to the Next Generation Tech Booster Scholarship program: the first phase is the Challenge phase, and the second phase is the Nanodegree program phase.
Phase 1: Two-month, self-guided “Challenge” learning journey where students will gain exposure to one of three tracks – AI Programming with Python Fundamentals, Enterprise Security Fundamentals and Agile Software Developer Fundamentals – and build foundational skills in the given track.
All students must first go through the Challenge phase in order to qualify for the second Nanodegree program phase. Students cannot apply to the Nanodegree program phase directly nor skip phase one. By applying to this scholarship, you are therefore applying to the Challenge phase and in turn, initiating an opportunity to qualify for the subsequent Nanodegree program phase.
Phase 2: Self-guided Nanodegree program learning journey where students will pursue one of three related Nanodegree programs: Agile Software Developer, AI programming with Python and Enterprise Security.
No, there are no costs to apply. The program is completely free to all scholarship recipients.
This is a 100% online program. You can access the program from anywhere with an internet connection.
Students will be able to choose from three different tracks. There is one application available for each of the available tracks in the program. You may submit more than one application, but we strongly recommend applying for the track that aligns with your interests. Please note you can only be accepted into one track in the cohort. An application may only be submitted once, and you will not be able to edit your answers once it has been submitted. To ensure the application process is fair, we are unable to reset an application that has already been submitted. Applicants will receive a decision notification email, regardless of the outcome, on December 11th, 2023.
