Tech has long since been a boys’ club — until now.

The tech industry has such an astounding need for women not only to diversify staff and ways of thinking but also because there are endless solutions and products made specifically for women that need the brainpower of women behind them.

As educators, we assume a massive responsibility to empower more women to join tech and give them the tools, resources, and inspiration they need to forge paths in an industry that hasn’t always been on their side. We recognize that, but we’re also proud to be at the forefront of changing that for everyone who seeks out this career.

Scholarships for women in tech are one of the best solutions offered to prospective females. The good news? There are tons of them out there, for all different career paths and from all different types of organizations.

We chose three that are definitely worth considering:

3 Women in Tech Scholarships Worth Considering

App Academy’s Access Scholarship.

Remaining Access Scholarships only available to women & underrepresented minorities residing in San Jose, CA.

We’d be remiss to not plug our own scholarship, designed for women and other underrepresented communities in tech, but we’re pretty proud of it!

The Access Scholarship was created by Facebook, who partners with a coding bootcamp each year to offer their prospective students scholarship money. For the first time ever, Facebook doubled their money for App Academy because they firmly believe in our mission and success. We have $500,000 in scholarship money available for women plus Black, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American, and Alaskan Native people.

The Access Scholarship award will cover up to 50% of tuition for accepted candidates. (This amount has recently been increased from an original $5,000 award!)
