Code Fellows CEO Dave Parker.
Veterans in Washington state now have a chance to attend a very different kind of bootcamp using the GI Bill.
The Veteran’s Administration and state government have approved the Seattle-based coding bootcamp, Code Fellows, to receive Chapter 31 and Chapter 33 funding for veterans. Code Fellows is the first coding school in Washington state to receive GI Bill approval.
GI Bill approval is a win for Code Fellows, which has been trying to recruit more veterans, women, and minorities into its program. Last summer, the school launched a $250,000 scholarship fund for students in those groups, which are traditionally underrepresented in tech.
