Solvent X Udacity
Solvent has partnered with Udacity to present the OneTen/BIT (Blacks In Technology) Scholarship Program to empower System Impacted individuals who are Black, and prepare them for a career in technology.
OneTen/BIT Scholarship Program
The OneTen/BIT Scholarship Program aims to help eager learners who are looking to advance their skills in business analytics, digital marketing, or front-end web development and prepare them for a high-paying tech job—or to start a business of their own.
About The OneTen/BIT Scholarship Program
No bachelor’s degree? No problem. If you’re a Black job-seeker with an interest in tech who doesn’t have a 4-year degree, this scholarship program is for you.
OneTen, the Blacks In Technology Foundation, and Udacity are partnering to award students with scholarships in 2023. Learn valuable skills—online and at your own pace—to open new career opportunities in the lucrative fields of business analytics, digital marketing, or front end web development.
Today's Challenge
The tech industry offers some of the fastest-growing and in-demand employment opportunities today. But these opportunities have been unequal and exclusionary—especially for people of color and people without 4-year degrees.
OneTen, the Blacks In Technology Foundation, and Udacity are teaming up to create change. Please join us in helping to give Black learners without 4-year degrees family-sustaining and generational wealth-building opportunities while also disrupting the status quo.
