Today, Docker is proud to announce the launch of the Docker Scholarship Program in partnership with Reactor Core to improve opportunities for underrepresented groups in the tech industry! With the help of the community, we surpassed our goal for the DockerCon 2016 Bump Up Challenge unlocking $50,000 to fund three full tuition scholarships.
The Docker Scholarship Program is part of our continued work to improve opportunities for women and underrepresented groups throughout the global Docker ecosystem and encourage inclusivity in the larger tech community.
Docker’s Goal
The goal of the Docker scholarship program is to strengthen the broader tech community by making it more diverse and inclusive to traditionally underrepresented groups. We aim to achieve that goal by providing financial support and mentorship to three students at Reactor Core’s partner schools, Hack Reactor and Telegraph Academy.
Our Partnership with Hack Reactor and Telegraph Academy
Docker believes in the power of innovation and pushing our current technological boundaries. As a driver of innovation, we embrace our role in advancing opportunities for underrepresented groups in the tech industry. Hack Reactor and Telegraph Academy share in our vision of empowering people and creating more opportunities for every member of our community. We are inspired by their commitment to improving the status quo for underrepresented groups in the tech industry.
Available Scholarships:
2016 Scholarships:
Telegraph Academy November Cohort
Complete the Docker Scholarship application and apply to Telegraph Academy’s bootcamp. Applications will be reviewed and applicants who are accepted into the Telegraph Academy program and meet Docker’s criteria will be invited to Docker HQ for a panel interview with Docker team members. Scholarships will be awarded based on acceptance to Telegraph Academy program, demonstration of personal financial need and quality of the responses to the Docker Scholarship application.

As women in the tech industry are traditionally underrepresented, we have a strong preference to award this scholarship to a self identified woman. However, we encourage all to apply as there may be additional opportunities available.
