Software Engineering Immersive Scholarships

Democratization of Elite Education

Codesmith is dedicated to supporting the success of high-achieving residents in the Software Engineering Immersive program and beyond.

Our full-tuition, partial-tuition, and partner scholarships have been created to provide financial support to outstanding community members who exemplify Codesmith’s values, especially those from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in the tech industry.

Cohort Scholarships

Codesmith created the Cohort Scholarship with a mission to support brilliant aspiring engineers from all backgrounds - especially those traditionally underrepresented in the tech industry. Scholarships are awarded based on contribution to the Codesmith community, leadership, technical and academic aspiration, and financial need - all residents accepted into an immersive program are eligible to apply.

Cohort Scholarships are awarded for each Software Engineering Immersive cohort and typically range between $500-$2,500. Applications are due 14 days before the cohort start date and awards are sent out the week before the cohort begins.

Full-Tuition Scholarships

Full-Tuition scholarships are awarded on a quarterly or annual basis depending on availability. Please review the annual application deadlines for more information.

International Scholarship

Codesmith is proud to support our growing international community by providing a scholarship award to an outstanding individual who is not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. The international scholarship aims to support high-achieving applicants from countries where access to advanced tech education has traditionally been limited.

Community Scholarship

Fostering a supportive and collaborative community is one of Codesmith’s core values. The Community Scholarship seeks to support an outstanding individual who has been invaluable in building community in Codesmith spaces (including CSX and public workshops). To be considered for the Community Scholarship, an applicant must be nominated by their peers.
