Scholars who join our Slack Community have a higher chance of course completion!
Yes, we are calling for Student Stories! And we want to offer this initiative as an opportunity for you to share your story, including both the wins and the losses that ultimately led you here and what you hope to do with your new found skills!
Every student that submits their story will have a chance at being featured on the HTTPS Community Site. Additionally, the top stories will be shared with the HTTPS Scholarship team & will be featured on Udacity ✨✨
The form closes for submission on October 12th, 11:59pm EST
If you've submitted your story for another Scholarship program, please submit your story again for this one!
Sharing your story will count towards Community Participation 🙌
Who were you in the past? And who are you today as a result of your past?
What obstacles or difficulties (big or small!) did you face, and how did that inform the person you are today?
What led you to the HTTPS Scholarship Program?
And, who do you hope to be in the future as a result of this scholarship program?
