I was only able to find funding because I met with a local career training program which enabled me to access local and Department of Labor funds. First look locally and seek out local and federal grants to attend based on being under-employed, unemployed, or under-represented in the field (minorities). The best strategy is to look simultaneously for funding and bootcamps. Secondly, when you start researching bootcamps, you will find that cost of tuition can be high. This first step is crucial for figuring out if this topic is something you are genuinely interested in. While you are learning the basics, start to learn about the bootcamps that teach this subject, read through bootcamp curriculum, take notes on tuition costs and start dates and note whether or not they provide scholarships. I will provide a detailed table below of the courses I took, most of which are free.
There are tons of resources online to learn programming. My first tip is to spend at least a few months to a year researching the topic you want to study and the boot camps available. However, I believe finding at least some funding is possible. Most people have to take out loans for boot camp.

I don’t want to plant a false idea that finding full or 100% financial aid for boot camp is easy or possible. I chose to attend a boot camp for data science but I believe my tips apply to other subjects like UX/UI, web development, and other fields in tech.ĭisclaimer: My experience finding funding for boot camp is not typical. I will share some tips about finding a boot camp in the USA, my story about how I chose to attend Codeup in San Antonio, TX, and how I got funding to attend.
But boot camps aren’t for everyone so I recommend doing lots of research before considering attending one. The real value in boot camps is the career placement assistance that they provide. I recommend boot camps for experienced folks switching into tech from different fields. Boot camps or career accelerator programs are short-term education programs designed to help you learn new skills and find a job.
