Next Generation Tech Booster Scholarship

There are two phases to the Next Generation Tech Booster: the first phase is the Challenge phase, and the second phase is the Nanodegree phase. 

As part of the first phase, you will learn about the foundational elements of the track you've selected, a subject that is pivotal to in-demand tech skills.

All students must first go through the Challenge phase in order to qualify for the second Nanodegree phase. Students cannot apply to the Nanodegree phase directly nor skip phase one. By applying to this scholarship, you are therefore applying to the Challenge phase and in turn, initiating an opportunity to qualify for the subsequent Nanodegree phase.

After completing the first phase, you will get the chance to assess what you’ve learned through a Final Assessment. The top 500 students who score highest on this Final Assessment are prioritized for the Nanodegree phase. This is a selective process, so make sure you're ready for that Final Assessment when the date approaches on February 22 & 23, 2024! And throughout your entire journey and across both phases, you will have access to an online community platform, where you will get to ask other students for support to help you through any learning difficulties or even to network! This is going to be a fun ride.

Of the 17,000 Challenge Course recipients, 500 (a total of 500 from across the 3 tracks) will be selected for the follow-on Nanodegree program. Selection into the second phase of the program, the Nanodegree program phase, is highly competitive. You will be 'eligible' for the full Nanodegree program once you fulfill the criteria below:

• 100% Course completion of the Challenge Course by Feb 15, 2024. This includes: lessons, videos, and quizzes.

• Passing the Final Assessment.

Students who score highest on the Final Assessment will be prioritized for selection into the Nanodegree phase.
