Software Engineering Immersive Scholarships
Democratization of Elite Education
Codesmith is dedicated to supporting the success of high-achieving residents in the Software Engineering Immersive program and beyond.
Our full-tuition, partial-tuition, and partner scholarships have been created to provide financial support to outstanding community members who exemplify Codesmith’s values, especially those from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in the tech industry.
Dean Scholarships

Scholarships are awarded based on contribution to the Codesmith community, leadership, technical and academic aspiration, and financial need - all residents accepted into an immersive program are eligible to apply.
Dean Scholarships are awarded for each Software Engineering Immersive cohort and typically range between $500-$2,500. Applications are due 14 days before the cohort start date and awards are sent out the week before the cohort begins.
