Udacity/Microsoft Cloud and Data Scholarship 2022 (Fully Funded)

in Offre de Stage et Formation
Udacity and Microsoft have teamed up to offer 150 fully-funded scholarships to achieve two big goals. First, we want to increase the number of professionals with Microsoft Azure AI engineering skills and prepare them to pass the Microsoft Certification. More importantly, we hope to expand diversity of individuals with Microsoft skills, particularly women and people identifying as Black or Hispanic. We have two separate tracks for this program—a foundational program for beginners and a more advanced practitioner program—so learners at all levels are encouraged to apply.
Field of Study
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Data Analysis
Level Internship
