FAQ

Scholarships Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to the most common questions we get about scholarships, donor-funded seats, and program expectations.

Do I have to repay the scholarship?

No. Scholarships and donor-funded seats do not require repayment. However, students are expected to commit to participation and completion requirements.

How are scholarship recipients selected?

We consider eligibility, motivation, readiness, and the ability to commit consistent time each week. Funding availability also affects how many seats we can award per cohort.

What if I don’t have a laptop?

A laptop or desktop is strongly recommended. If you do not have one, you may still apply and indicate your situation—we may provide guidance on affordable options or community resources.

Do scholarships include certification exam fees?

It depends on the scholarship type and donor support. Some donor-funded cohorts may include exam vouchers, while others focus on training and labs only.

Can I work a job while in the program?

Yes, many students work while enrolled. Most tracks require consistent weekly time (often 6–15 hours), so we recommend planning your schedule early.

What happens if I miss classes or fall behind?

We understand life happens. If you miss sessions, you’ll be encouraged to catch up quickly. Repeated absences or lack of participation may result in losing a scholarship seat so we can offer it to another student.

Is there an interview or screening call?

Sometimes. Depending on the cohort, we may conduct a short call or questionnaire to confirm readiness, answer your questions, and ensure the program is a good fit.

Can I apply if I’m a complete beginner?

Yes. Some tracks are designed for complete beginners (Cloud and AI Workforce Readiness). For more advanced tracks (Cybersecurity, DevOps), we may recommend a prep path first.

Can I switch tracks after I start?

In many cases, yes—depending on seat availability and your progress. We may recommend a different pathway if it better fits your goals and learning level.

When will I hear back after applying?

Typically, we respond after reviewing your application and confirming cohort seat availability. If you don’t hear back quickly, feel free to contact us and we’ll help you check your status.

📌 Tip

Want to increase your chance of being selected?

In your application, clearly explain your career goal, why you want this track, and how you plan to make time each week. Strong commitment + follow-through matters.
