Guidance That Transforms. Direction That Delivers.
Navigating the tech world alone, especially as a beginner can feel like walking through a maze blindfolded. There’s too much noise, too many paths, and no clear roadmap. Even with access to courses and devices, many passionate learners find themselves stuck in cycles of confusion, burnout, and bad guidance.
That’s where the Mentorship & Transition Aid Grant comes in.
This grant is designed especially for tech newcomers who have the resources but lack the right direction, those who are eager to learn, but need structured support to get out of the loop and onto a clear path toward success.
What This Grant Offers:
- One-on-one mentorship with experienced professional in your field of interest
- Placement into partner United States accredited Edtechs that offer structured learning roadmaps
- Personalized transition advice to help move from learning to earning
- Accountability support to stay focused, consistent, and on track
- Opportunities for career shadowing, guidance on certifications, and industry readiness
Whether you're switching careers or just stepping into the tech space, this grant ensures that you're not just consuming content aimlessly, you're building a guided, intentional journey that leads to real-world impact.
Why This Grant Matters:
Each year, the Mentorship & Transition Aid Grant receives the highest number of applications and for good reason. The transformation it enables has been incredible. Many recipients have gone on to receive full and partial funding offers, secured internships and roles, and even built projects that launched them into new opportunities.
We’ve seen learners who were once overwhelmed, struggling with self-paced confusion, become laser-focused and career-ready after just months of structured mentorship. And in many cases, DTFS steps in to co-fund their learning taking care of a significant part of their fees so they’re only left with a small, manageable balance. The grit and gratitude they show in pushing forward despite limited means continues to inspire everything we do.
"I was doing courses on my own, but going in circles. When I got paired with a mentor through DTFS, everything clicked. I finally saw where I was headed and how to get there." — Mentorship Grant Recipient, 2023
This isn’t just mentorship. It’s momentum.
And if you're ready to grow, we’re ready to match your passion with purpose.
