Through donor and partner support, scholarships may cover tuition, software, computers, and resources for affordable internet access. Our commitment is to ensure every learner can build the digital skills needed for school, work, and everyday life.
Eligibility Criteria
Who May Apply?
Scholarships are offered to Metropolitan Detroit residents who meet specific eligibility and financial‑need criteria, supporting equitable access to essential technology education opportunities.
1. Youth Scholarship Pathways
Our Youth Program supports learners ages 8–17 who show interest in technology and commit to attending classes. Scholarships prioritize students from economically disadvantaged communities and require parent or guardian approval. This pathway helps young learners build confidence, digital literacy, and future‑ready skills through structured, supportive instruction.
Scholarship Selection Criteria
Applications are reviewed holistically, considering financial need, interest in technology, commitment to completing the course, educational or career goals, and community involvement. Funding availability also influences decisions. Academic grades are not the primary factor, ensuring fair access for motivated learners.
Scholarship Benefits
Scholarships may provide full or partial tuition, required software, loaned laptops, learning materials, and resources for affordable internet access. Awards vary based on funding and individual need, ensuring learners receive meaningful support to build essential digital skills and confidently complete their chosen program.
Steps For Under‑18 Applicants
Applicants under age 18 must provide a signed parent or guardian consent form and a letter of recommendation from a teacher, counselor, employer, pastor, or community leader. These documents confirm support, readiness, and accountability, ensuring minors receive appropriate guidance throughout their scholarship participation.
