For additional questions please contact financialaid@turing.edu.

The Diversity & Inclusion Scholarship:

Turing stands for the inclusion and equality of all people, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, age, zip code, background, or life experience. When we look at the tech industry overall, though, we see significant biases and a lot of missing faces. So many amazing people who could make monumental contributions to software development have not yet entered the field. This needs to change.

People build software to solve problems, but we tend to only solve problems when we know they exist. Until the experiences of all software developers begin to mirror the experiences of all software users, real problems will remain unsolved and real needs will remain unmet. If you don’t see yourself as fitting some “typical software developer mold”, then you are exactly who we need. Your differences are valuable.

We have two scholarships available at $8,000/each for each cohort. If you belong to any group that is underrepresented in technology and you have been accepted to Turing, we invite you to apply by clicking the button below.

How much are the scholarships Worth?

Scholarships are awarded in the form of tuition waivers of $8,000 and applied to the total tuition.

How will scholarship recipients be selected?

Turing scholarships are reviewed by a panel of Turing staff. The scholarship committee will score essays based on a rubric evaluating the following questions:

  • Passion: What will you contribute to the future with your new skills?
  • Dedication: How hard have you worked to overcome obstacles, and how determined are you to continue on this path?
  • Need: What constraints are you facing and how will this scholarship make Turing possible for you?
