The next cohort of our VC University ONLINE certificate program will begin on September 1, 2021, and the scholarship application window is now open!
Along with our partners, NVCA and Venture Forward, we are committed to expanding access to this educational opportunity. To that end, Venture Forward is offering a limited number of full scholarships to qualified candidates; the scholarship is intended for individuals from historically underrepresented backgrounds who specifically intend to pursue careers in venture capital.
In addition to covering the full cost of tuition, Venture Forward scholarship recipients receive access to dedicated office hours and a mentorship program (starting in November, eight weeks after the course begins), to build upon the education provided by VC University ONLINE.
If you’re interested in applying for a scholarship, your next steps are to:

We strongly encourage interested candidates to apply, or to share this opportunity with eligible friends and colleagues!
