I thought the school would have been the school for me after being referred here. I was initially excited and was told that I would qualify for a 70% scholarship for each course 201 to 401 and to seek funds from the state for training for the remaining. Well, after attending the Code 101 class, those promises changed. Apparently, I was "confused" about the process and "was not doing the application process correctly" and I was told I was not getting the 70% scholarship ...
I thought the school would have been the school for me after being referred here. I was initially excited and was told that I would qualify for a 70% scholarship for each course 201 to 401 and to seek funds from the state for training for the remaining. Well, after attending the Code 101 class, those promises changed. Apparently, I was "confused" about the process and "was not doing the application process correctly" and I was told I was not getting the 70% scholarship but it was up to 70%, after going to the state to get funding and realized I wasted time and energy after Code Fellows-Portland put me through the runaround.
Plus, I was told they had funds from PDC that needed to be used and could not get many minorities to apply, so the scholarship would not be an issue. Anyway, after reading between the lines, it was apparent I was not wanted there, though Code Fellows-Portland gets major funding from the public sector and private sector places. For minorities seeking to code, you want to make sure that you are not just looking at the marketing or getting a runaround. It is not as diverse as the marketing images show. I felt like I was a part of an old boys club.
Note to Code Fellows: Please do not contact me about attending, or about changing my review, or about a scholarship to any course or a job. Nothing will change my mind about Code Fellows. If you did not want me then, you do not want me now.
