AWS Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Scholarship Program 2024

The AWS AI & ML Scholarship program, in collaboration with Udacity, is an AI/ML-focused scholarship program providing 2,500 Udacity nanodegree scholarships annually, as well as a mentorship program, to students that identify as underserved or underrepresented in technology. The program aims to make the future tech workforce more diverse by removing financial barriers, providing skills training for a career in tech, and offering mentorship support.

The AWS AI & ML Scholarship program uses a free, student-only version of AWS DeepRacer to prequalify participants for the scholarship application. The prerequisites teach students general knowledge on ML, by creating a reinforcement learning model that can achieve a benchmark lap time around a race track. AWS DeepRacer Student provides free learning content, assessments, and the ability to compete in the AWS DeepRacer Student League that helps students learn the skills needed to complete prerequisites.
