About Udacity – AWS Machine Learning Scholarship Program
ADVANCE YOUR CAREER BY EARNING A SCHOLARSHIP FOR THE AWS MACHINE LEARNING ENGINEER NANODEGREE PROGRAM

Apply machine learning techniques and algorithms, including deployment to the AWS production environment.

How It Works

AWS and Udacity are collaborating to educate developers of all skill levels on machine learning concepts. We invite students 18 years of age or older who are interested in expanding their machine learning skills and expertise to enroll in the AWS Machine Learning Scholarship Program. The goal for this program is to up-level machine learning skills to all, and to cultivate the next generation of ML leaders across the world, with a focus on underrepresented groups. Through its We Power Tech Program, AWS collaborates with professional organizations that are leading initiatives to increase the diversity and talent in technical roles, including organizations like Girls In Tech and the National Society of Black Engineers.

The scholarship is open to all for registration starting May 26, 2021, and your learning will begin on June 28, 2021. Participants will have up to 3.5 months to complete the AWS Machine Learning Foundations Course. The course covers the fundamentals of machine learning, steps in machine learning process, basics of computer vision, reinforcement learning, generative AI, software engineering best practices for data science, and how to build your own python package. The foundations course is intended to help developers of all skill levels get started with machine learning.

At the end of the AWS Machine Learning Foundations Course, learners will take an assessment from which top performers will be selected for one of 425 follow-up scholarships to one of Udacity’s most popular and recently refreshed Nanodegree programs: The AWS Machine Learning Engineer Nanodegree program.

Who is eligible to register?

Anyone 18 years of age and older is encouraged to register. You must register for the scholarship program by June 23, 2021, complete the foundations course and submit the assessment quiz by October 11, 2021 to be considered for the scholarship. Udacity employees and individuals that reside in countries subject to U.S. trade restrictions are ineligible to register.

To successfully complete the AWS Machine Learning Foundations Course, students should expect to invest 3-5 hours per week over ~3.5 months and complete the assessment test by October 11, 2021. To complete the AWS Machine Learning Engineer Nanodegree, scholarship winners should expect to spend 6-7 hours per week over the ~3 months to complete the Nanodegree by January 25, 2022.

All learners are welcome to take the foundations course, but completion of a beginning level programming course is recommended to fully engage in all of the coursework.
