| You should consider this funding to be an investment in yourself. You can study anything that you think will help you find a better job and meaningfully increase your income Shorter certificates, bootcamps, and academies that build hard or soft skills can all help. We review applications on a case by case basis, so reach out and let’s explore possibilities. |
