About Udacity/Bertelsmann Technology Scholarship Program

Bertelsmann’s media, services, and educational offerings make them a leader in many areas of the digital world. Accordingly, the company wants to empower as many people as possible to be successful in the digital world. Over a three-year period, Bertelsmann is funding as many as 50,000 tech scholarships for students to learn with Udacity.

The second phase of the program starting in September 2020, consists of a two-stage scholarship that’s similar to the first phase of the program. The scholarship is open to any student, 18 years of age or older, interested in Cloud Computing, Data Science, or Artificial Intelligence. Both Bertelsmann employees and the general public are encouraged to apply for one of the three tech learning paths: Cloud, Data, or AI.

Then, when applications close the organisers will review all entries and select 15,000 recipients to participate in the Cloud, Data, or AI Challenge Courses. This is where the learning begins! Recipients will spend 3.5 months learning key components for Cloud Computing, Data Analysis, or Artificial Intelligence. Afterwhich, top students from this initial phase will earn a full Nanodegree program scholarship.
