Women in Tech Scholarship Sponsored by Nucamp and Google Cloud
Last Updated: June 5th 2024
Helping to Bridge the Gender Gap Through Coding and Technology Training.
In partnership with Google Cloud, we've created a scholarship to help bridge the gender gap in the tech industry.
The Women in Tech Scholarship furthers our mission to make it affordable to learn marketable coding skills and fill high-demand roles in the digital economy.
Although women make up 47% of all employed adults in the US, they only hold 24% of the technology positions. Why is there still a gender gap in tech | Techopedia.com.
With a shared goal of closing the gender gap and inspiring women to pursue careers in technology areas, Nucamp and Google Cloud are excited to offer $150,000 ($50,000 in 2022, and $100,000 in 2023) in funding to The Women in Tech scholarship fund sponsored by Google Cloud.
