Bertelsmann Technology
Scholarship Program

Completing all your Challenge Course content is one of the criteria for Phase 2 selection. It is therefore required of you to complete the Challenge Course to be eligible for one of the full Nanodegree scholarships.

Big picture, thousands of people applied for the opportunity to benefit from this scholarship. As a one of the selected recipients, we hope and expect you to take advantage of this valuable opportunity by finding the time needed to work through all of the concepts and lessons in your scholarship course.

Students must complete the Scholarship course by February 14th, 2022 at 11:59 PM PT. They have to also fulfil the 'Active Participation Criteria' by making progress in the course by Jan 4th, 2022.

The scholarship challenge is 9 weeks long, and we estimate that if you invest 3-5 hours/week -- on reviewing instructional content, taking quizzes, working on your lab, and participating in other course-related activities such as engaging with your community and colleagues on Slack -- you will proceed through the program at a successful pace and finish with no problems before the scholarship ends.

We understand that everyone has busy lives, and you cannot be devoted to your coursework 100% of the time! That said, if you will be offline for a couple of weeks or more, then you’ll be approaching or exceeding half of your overall course time! If this is necessary, we recommend setting aside time (even just 10-15 minutes makes a difference) a couple of times per week to stay active in the community and make incremental progress in your coursework before the course deadline.

Also, do make sure to log into the Classroom and complete atleast one concept of a lesson before Jan 4th, 2022 so that you fulfil the Active Participation Requirement. Scholars who do not make any progress in the Challenge Course by Jan 4th, 2022 will be unenrolled from the program.

Congrats again on your acceptance into the Bertelsmann Technology Scholarship Program Challenge! Unfortunately, per the terms of the scholarship, your enrolment into your previous Nanodegree program cannot be refunded.
