Coding bootcamps can give you immediate skills for in-demand jobs and also require less time and money than a traditional college program.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even though bootcamps are the more affordable route, they aren\u2019t completely free, and it\u2019s still possible to accrue thousands of dollars in debt from a bootcamp education. Thankfully, there are scholarships that give students the opportunity to complete a bootcamp at a reduced price. We\u2019ve outlined some of the most promising scholarships below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scholarships for Coding Bootcamps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>School is expensive! Fortunately, there are many coding bootcamp scholarships available to students. While a few scholarships are not attached to specific programs, most are associated with a particular bootcamp. The eligibility requirements differ for each scholarship, as does the award amount\u2014this varies from $250 to full tuition coverage, depending on the bootcamp and the scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"footable_parent_52189\"\n         class=\" footable_parent ninja_table_wrapper loading_ninja_table wp_table_data_press_parent semantic_ui \">\n                <table data-ninja_table_instance=\"ninja_table_instance_0\" data-footable_id=\"52189\" data-filter-delay=\"1000\" aria-label=\"Coding Bootcamp Scholarships\"            id=\"footable_52189\"\n           data-unique_identifier=\"ninja_table_unique_id_574592161_52189\"\n           class=\" foo-table ninja_footable foo_table_52189 ninja_table_unique_id_574592161_52189 ui table  nt_type_legacy_table striped vertical_centered  footable-paging-right ninja_table_search_disabled ninja_table_pro\">\n                <colgroup>\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_0 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_1 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_2 \">\n                    <\/colgroup>\n        <thead>\n<tr class=\"footable-header\">\n                                                        <th scope=\"col\"  class=\"ninja_column_0 ninja_clmn_nm_program \">Program<\/th><th scope=\"col\"  class=\"ninja_column_1 ninja_clmn_nm_eligibility \">Eligibility<\/th><th scope=\"col\"  class=\"ninja_column_2 ninja_clmn_nm_description \">Description<\/th><\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n\n        <tr data-row_id=\"988\" class=\"ninja_table_row_0 nt_row_id_988\">\n            <td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.springboard.com\/how-it-works\/scholarships\/\">Springboard Scholarships<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/td><td>Varies by program<\/td><td>Springboard offers various scholarships with contingent eligibility conditions.

However, before choosing one of these programs, students should research them carefully to verify the eligibility requirements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are two examples of scholarship programs that can work with multiple schools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/scholarships360.org\/scholarships\/search\/horatio-alger-career-technical-scholarship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Horatio Alger Career &amp; Technical Scholarship<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lesbianswhotech.org\/codingscholarship\/?utm_source=coursereport&amp;utm_medium=blogpost\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Edie Windsor Coding Scholarship for Queer Women &amp; Non-Binary Techies<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Another resource to look into is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coursereport.com\/coding-bootcamp-scholarships\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Course Report<\/a>, a site created specifically for researching bootcamps. Their scholarships range from $50 to $5,000 and can be applied to an extensive array of schools and bootcamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veterans can also use their <a href=\"https:\/\/veteran.com\/va-approved-gi-bill-bootcamps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GI Bill benefits<\/a> for many coding bootcamps. The Department of Veterans Affairs compiles a list of approved coding schools, including online, hybrid, and campus-based coding bootcamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students also have the option of applying for personal loans to pay for their coding bootcamp tuition. Although many lending institutions will service these types of loans, some, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ascentfunding.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ascent<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/climbcredit.com\/students?src=blog&amp;sub_src=navlogo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Climb<\/a>, have been expressly set up to work with bootcamp training programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Springboard Coding Bootcamp Scholarships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to success at a coding bootcamp is to select a school with the highest quality training, career guidance, and job placement assistance, which also features various scholarship programs. Springboard excels at each of these services to offer our students the best help possible to start their new careers. Since 2016, Springboard has provided students with <em>over <\/em>$3M in scholarships, and is committed to securing another $10 million by 2030.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springboard.com\/how-it-works\/scholarships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Springboard\u2019s scholarships<\/a> currently include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Women in Technology Scholarship.<\/strong> This scholarship is for students who self-identify as female and have applied to our data, engineering, cybersecurity, or tech sales career tracks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Diversity in Tech Scholarship.<\/strong> This scholarship is available to any career track program for students who identify as Black or African-American, Hispanic or Latinx, Pacific Islander, Native American, Alaska Native, Middle Eastern, a member of the LGBTQI+ community, veteran or member of the US military, person with disabilities, or refugee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Needs-Based Scholarship<\/strong>.
