A Path to Opportunity
You can build in-demand tech skills and a pathway to a new career with the help of the UW Continuum College Southeast Seattle Career Scholarship.
The scholarship allows students to take the Foundations of Programming (Python) course at the Othello-UW Commons at a reduced cost. More than 80% of the course fees are covered.
Foundations of Programming (Python)
Foundations of Programming (Python) is a 10-week introductory technology course, approved by the UW Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering. You don't need any technical training or prior experience to enroll.
This course was selected to run at the Othello-UW Commons by Southeast Seattle community partners to give locals the opportunity to build fundamental programming skills. The purpose of the scholarship is to break down the barrier of cost and provide a path toward high-demand jobs in data or tech.
