CloudNOW awards Holberton students scholarships

Several students at the New Haven and San Francisco campuses of Holberton School recently received scholarships aimed at helping to defray their expenses.

The Cloud Network of Women, or CloudNOW, a consortium of female professionals in technology, recently announced the winners of the CloudNOW STEM scholarship. The scholarships are sponsored by Facebook, Google and Intel.

Previous recipients have gone on to secure employment at companies such as Twitch, IBM and Pinterest.

Holberton trains future software engineers. The school is free to attend, though students are asked to contribute a percentage of their salaries to the school for the first three and a half years after they secure employment following graduation. The scholarship is designed to help students with housing and other expenses while they are students. 

“Holberton School’s no-upfront tuition makes our education accessible to many, but attending is currently a full-time commitment, making it difficult sometimes for students to cover the cost of living,” said Sylvain Kalache, co-founder of Holberton School, in an announcement. “CloudNOW, along with Facebook, Google, and Intel, has generously offered to help defray these costs.”

This year’s New Haven campus recipients are:

  • Kathleen McKiernan of North Haven
  • Flavio Espinoza of New Haven
  • Faizan Khan of Plainville
  • Hiram Velez of Easthampton, Mass.
  • Victor Rivera of New Haven
  • Christian Williams of West Haven
  • Jennifer Tang of Brooklyn, N.Y.
