Because of these funds, students from populations underrepresented in tech have been able to pursue high-potential tech careers.
“I was extremely grateful as a Code Fellows Diversity Scholarship recipient. It allowed me to pursue what I was passionate about full time. The environment reinforced my desire to learn and love for continuous improvement.” — Thomas Martinez, Air Force Veteran & Full-Stack JavaScript Developer
We’re immensely proud of what these students have accomplished through the Diversity Scholarship Fund, but we’re not done yet. As new students prepare to start their life-changing journey in 2018, we want to continue to ensure that financial barriers do not stand between students and their new career.
It’s our goal to continue to increase the funds we are able to provide to individuals who have financial need, with all tax-deductable donations going towards 2018 Diversity Scholarships for those with financial need.
“Receiving the Diversity Scholarship at Code Fellows has opened doors for me that I believe I wouldn’t have been able to walk through without the support and encouragement of the Code Fellows staff. As a woman now in the field, I plan on encouraging other women who want to pursue a career in technology and remind them how big of a difference we can make.” — Rae Helsel, iOS Developer at hOM
We need your help! Whether you’re a Code Fellows alumni, company in the tech industry, or community member who wants to help others start a new career, please consider making a tax-deductible donation today. Any amount will help us reach our goal, and every dollar helps provide education for students.
