CoderGirl Scholarship for an inclusive digital future

Go for the CoderGirl Scholarship

Half of the world is female, but only a few of them choose to study and work in tech. This makes half of the population barely represented in an industry that defines our digital future. 

However, there’s proof of clear improvement in the quality and usability of digital products when women are involved in the development process. 

We created the CoderGirl Scholarship to make tech more accessible to girls and women, and invite them to take part in creating a more diverse future.

 

 

More than a free course: launch your new career and get a guaranteed tech position

The CoderGirl Scholarship is a straight path to success. Study for free at one of our tech courses, and land your first tech job at one of our partner companies in the end.

Can I get the CoderGirl Scholarship?

You can, if you:

  • are a girl or a woman,
  • apply to a course with CoderGirl

Gender stereotypes in tech: not
just wrong, they’re expensive

You can do this, too

Too many women still think that coding should be a male profession because it requires special skills or competencies that women don’t have. Schools, parents and society still don’t encourage young girls to choose tech careers.

This is so not right. It’s been proven that women and men can equally make great developers. What’s more, women are believed to be more empathetic and creative in general, and these traits are a big plus in programmers.

Codecool is managed by a diverse team

“People tend to overlook that there is no such thing as gender or discrimination in coding. Your skills will always be measured according to your results. If anything, the low number of women in IT can be an advantage – since value is often based on scarcity these days, women have the opportunity to become rare diamonds among smart gemstones. In the end, it only depends on whether you are willing to put in the work to reach your goals.”

“Being driven and inspired to learn, grow and create are things we all have within ourselves, regardless of gender. Our unique spirits differentiate us, and women have the power of intuition, creativity, and empathy to make them stand out in a field that is currently not dominated by these forces. I strongly believe that women in tech will soon be the norm. We just have to push a bit harder today to make girls see what we already see: that they absolutely have the skills to make it in tech.”

“In a world developing at hyper-speed due to digitalisation, we are already living in the future. Involving more women in the field of technology is not just a trend, but a crucial element in efforts to adapt to a new era. In tech jobs, soft skills are equally important as hard skills, and if girls are doubting their capabilities, now is the time to feel empowered to start their journeys in tech. I trust we all believe that it’s time to break stereotypes. We already know that women can code. And women will definitely code."
