About Amazon Web Services (AWS) Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) Scholarship
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) Scholarship program, which debuted as a part of AWS DeepRacer Student, aims to increase diversity in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) by providing successful applicants with the chance to earn up to two Udacity Nanodegrees. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) like the Udacity Nanodegree are intended to close the knowledge gap between academic pursuits and professional objectives.
Benefits of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) Scholarship
Every year, two distinct cohorts of 2,500 Udacity Nanodegree scholarships will be awarded worldwide under the AWS AI & ML Scholarship program. The following is given to each student:
- The AI Programming with Python Nanodegree is free to enter. This course will teach you the fundamentals of programming, linear algebra, and neural networks so you can start utilizing AI techniques.
- Access to weekly office hours with Udacity teachers to get help with inquiries regarding course material. Students can also take part in weekly case study activities that are facilitated by Udacity faculty.
- Exclusive access to career resources and mentoring, such as advice on resume editing, talks with industry professionals, and interview techniques.
- Additionally, depending on their success in course assessments, the top 500 students from the AI Programming with Python course are granted access to a more advanced Nanodegree that covers the principles of deep learning and equips them with the knowledge and abilities needed to work as machine learning engineers.
- Free admission to a brand-new generative AI course called Introducing Generative AI with AWS, which was co-created by AWS and Udacity, is granted to all students who fulfill the requirements for scholarships and submit an application to Udacity. Students can choose to enrol in the month-long course as an optional means of improving their generative AI skills. While the Nanodegree scholarship is only available to scholarship recipients, the course is open to all students who apply for the award.
