My co-founder and I mentor an incredibly brilliant and driven female programmer who has just been accepted into the G school. She has taught herself how to code and with this 6 month program plus our ruby mentorship she'll be a highly skilled software engineer by April. If we weren't throwing every cent we had into our startup that's about to launch beta we'd help pay for her. Tuition is over 20k and the g school doesn't offer any full scholarships. She is an african american woman and extremely passionate about coding because she cares about changing the ratio and because she's sees it as a way to solve huge problems. I'm on a mission to help her find a scholarship or crowdfund her tuition- Does anyone on Hacker News know of any scholarships for her (ie not a dev boot camp scholarship, she wants to go to g school, so a scholarship independent of the coding program) or a crowd funding platform for promising developers?
