Workforce Development Scholarships

Last year Blacks in Technology Foundation awarded over 5,000 scholarships and we are starting this year with a collaboration with ONETEN and their goal is to employ one million Black folk in the Tech Industry. 

If you’re a member of the African-American community with an interest in tech and you don't have a four-year degree, this scholarship program is for you.

The OneTen/BIT Scholarship Program aims to help eager learners looking to advance their skills in business analytics, digital marketing, or front end web development and prepare for an exciting, high-paying career in tech.

The tech industry offers some of the fastest-growing and in-demand employment opportunities today. But these opportunities have been unequal and exclusionary—especially for people of color and people without four-year degrees.

OneTen, the Blacks In Technology Foundation, and Udacity are teaming up to create change. This program aims to give Black learners without four-year degrees family-sustaining and generational wealth-building opportunities while also disrupting the status quo.

Apply to the OneTen/BIT Scholarship Program January 19, thru March 16th 2023, and gain applicable skills to start a new career in tech and help break open the industry for the advancement of Black talent.

Eligibility Criteria for this scholarship is that applicants must meet the following: 

- Identify as Black/African American 

- Located in the United States

- 18+ years old

- Do not have a 4-year college degree

Students that are currently enrolled in college but do not yet have a degree are welcome to apply.
