How It Works

AWS and Udacity are collaborating to educate developers of all skill levels on machine learning concepts. We invite learners globally 18 years of age or older who are interested in expanding their machine learning skills and expertise to enroll in the AWS Machine Learning Engineer Scholarship Program. The goal for this program is to up-level machine learning skills to all, and to cultivate the next generation of ML leaders across the world, with a focus on underrepresented groups. Through its We Power Tech Program, AWS collaborates with professional organizations that are leading initiatives to increase the diversity and talent in technical roles, including organizations like Girls In Tech and the National Society of Black Engineers.

The scholarship is open to all for registration starting June 21, 2022. Scholarship participants will spend about 2 months in the AWS Machine Learning Foundations Course. The course covers the fundamentals of machine learning, steps in machine learning process, reinforcement learning, generative AI, software engineering best practices for data science, and how to build your own python package. Udacity will be including badge incentives for lesson completion within the program for learners to share their accomplishments with their connections on social media. The foundations course is intended to help developers of all skill levels get started with machine learning.

At the end of the AWS Machine Learning Foundations Course, learners will take an assessment from which top performers will be selected for one of 325 follow-up scholarships to one of Udacity’s most popular and recently refreshed Nanodegree programs: The AWS Machine Learning Engineer Nanodegree program.

“The AWS Machine Learning Engineer Nanodegree Program gave me a solid footing in understanding the foundational building blocks of Machine Learning workflows. This shaped my knowledge of the fundamental concepts in building state-of-the-art Machine Learning models. Udacity curated learning materials that were easy to grasp and applicable to every field of endeavour, my learning experience was challenging and fun-filled.”

“The AWS Machine Learning Engineer Nanodegree Program introduced me to a wide variety of machine learning tools which made the learning experience much easier. Before taking the program the many tools provided by AWS seemed frustrating but now I have a good grasp of them. I learned how to organize my code and work in a professional setting. The organized modules, follow up quizzes, and personalized feedback all made the learning experience more smooth and concrete.”
