The Access 2 Education Scholarship Fund will allow historically underrepresented candidates in tech the opportunity to enroll in 2U’s career accelerating boot camps in coding, data analytics, UX/UI, and cybersecurity through local universities like George Washington University. Scholarship recipients will receive a 65% tuition reduction.
With additional investments from local employers, we can expand the reach of the scholarship program even further. Join this public-private partnership aimed at bridging the gap between the skills employers want with the opportunities residents need in Prince George’s County.
If you are interested in learning more about the scholarship fund or the talent matching and referral services 2U will provide participating companies, please contact us.
