INDIANAPOLIS — Kenzie Academy, a cutting-edge tech apprenticeship and coding school that focuses on accelerated, project-based learning, announced it would partner with Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) Indiana to grant $300,000 in scholarships to the program’s current high school seniors and recent alumni statewide. The scholarships will give JAG Indiana seniors and alumni an opportunity to gain the skills and mindset needed to launch careers in Indiana’s most in-demand tech fields for a significantly reduced tuition rate.
For JAG high school seniors graduating in the 2018-2019 academic year, Kenzie is offering twenty $10,000 scholarships for the July or September 2019 cohorts. For individuals who previously participated in the JAG program and graduated high school in the last ten years, Kenzie will offer twenty $5,000 scholarships for each of the 2019 April, July, or September cohorts. Scholarships will count towards the $24,000 tuition for Kenzie’s one to two-year programs.
All scholarship winners will also be eligible to participate in Kenzie’s innovative Income Share Agreement (ISA) program, which enables students to finance the rest of their tuition by agreeing to pay a fixed percentage of future earned income for a fixed period. If using an ISA, students can start at Kenzie for only $100 upfront. Students can also participate in an exclusive Kenzie & Kelly Services “Earn & Learn” program that gives students access to flexible, part-time, at-home tech support jobs that both pay a starting wage of $13 an hour and give them relevant skills for the tech workplace.
