In the announcement blog post, Google has said that despite the enthusiasm of developers, the digital skill gap is growing, and by 2020, half a million information and communications jobs will remain unfulfilled. For improving this situation, Google is partnering with Bertelsmann & Udacity.
60,000 Web And Android Scholarships — How to apply
Out of the 75,000, 60,000 scholarships are already open. This 3-month scholarship challenge is both for absolute beginners and for existing programmers. The program is 100% online.
