Hello SWEethearts!
We recently just received some scholarship information. We recommend that you apply if you meet their criteria. Below is the information! Best of luck!
We are excited to announce that Girl Develop It is working with online mentoring bootcamp, Bloc to offer scholarships to GDI Members. Each month, two GDI members will be selected to receive a$2500 scholarship towards one of Bloc's Track programs, which are geared toward those looking to work toward a new career as a full stack web developer or Designer.
When Bloc grad Brittany Martin first joined the program, she had just completed an MBA and was working as a Product Marketing Manager at a San Francisco startup. She was able to complete Bloc’s intensive full-stack web development program while working full-time.
Sharing from her own experience, Brittany said, “Bloc gave me a comfortable setting to learn in; I was able to choose a Mentor that shared my values. Bloc encourages diversity, and their flexible scheduling allows any new coder to learn.”
After graduating, she joined a company as a Rails Support Engineer, and recently landed a new job as a software engineer. In her role, she sets up and maintains production environments, fixes bugs, codes in Ruby on Rails, and works on technical documentation.
Girl Develop It is excited to work with Bloc to offer opportunities for more of our students to continue their learning and level up their skills! Bloc is the world's largest online bootcamp and they offer a program that goes beyond just curriculum — GDI Members who attend Bloc will finish the program with projects for their portfolio in addition to a certificate!
Talk to one of Bloc's Student Advisors or apply here.
