Get Funding Assistance to Help Pay Tuition!

We at Divergence Academy understand that our prices are not cheap. Our state-of-the-art labs and campus, world-leader instruction level, and 400+ hours of training and experience require significant investment from our students. However, it quickly becomes apparent afterward that the investment is like giving a ten dollar bill now, in order to receive between twenty and one-hundred twenty dollars a year for the rest of your life. The value of our training is not just in the knowledge itself, but in also becoming one of the highest-paid, first-hired Data Scientists or Cybersecurity experts in the job market. It is an investment, and a valuable one if you want to make the chance.

What are my options for funding my tuition at Divergence Academy?

• FFARS – Friends, Family, and Relatives. Your closest companions are often the best source of funding when you need it. Especially when it comes to something like investing in your education so that you can begin a career that pays upward of ten times as much per year. You could even offer to do tech support for them in exchange for the loan or help.
• Employee Programs – Most companies involved in related fields will pay for your training, provided you pass. If you contact your HR department about tuition assistance, you may be surprised to find that they will pay for the entire thing.
• Corporate, Government, and Religious Sponsors – Some companies and local or local governments will sponsor your endeavors. City, County, and State governments, chambers of commerce, and even religious institutions know the value of cultivating high-tech talent, and bringing the kind of money that skill-set attracts into the area.
• Scholarships – There are an enormous number of scholarships out there to pay tuition expenses, and sometimes even added costs like room and board, books, fees, and so forth. Those who are considered disadvantaged may be eligible for multiple scholarships that others could not apply for. Between Google searches, high-school and college counselors, and our own known resources, it is entirely possible to pay for the majority of, if not the entirety of, the tuition.
• Online Crowdfunding – There are many sources of internet crowdfunding, such as GoFundMe, where those with the right amount of charisma and public relations skills can get funding for life events, such as our training courses.
• Loans – If after all that, you still cannot obtain funding for training, you might consider the value of taking out a loan to pay for the classes. Though you would have to pay it back with interest, it would still pale in comparison to what you would be making in first-year salary.
