Applications are Open For Our 2017 Scholarship Program
Last year, we gave dozens of amazing people a helping hand so they could improve themselves – and the world around them. I was really touched by the heartfelt thanks we got – and yep, tears were shed. (On both sides of the screen.)
So it’s time to do it again.
You work with Microsoft SQL Server – maybe as a developer, report writer, analyst, sysadmin, or DBA.
You want to learn more about how to make it faster and more reliable.
But your company can’t afford training. Maybe it’s a charity that needs to save every dollar to make a difference in the lives of others. Or maybe it’s a non-profit arts foundation, or a small startup that’s barely making ends meet.
We want to hear from you.
The fine print:
- You must already have a job working with SQL Server.
- You must work for a foundation, non-profit, charity, or similar company that’s doing good work. It can totally be a for-profit company, just as long as they’re making a difference. (If you work for Ginormous Profitable Global Corporation, forget it.)
- Your company or government rules must allow you to receive free or discounted training. (Some companies prohibit their employees from accepting gifts.)
- You can be anywhere in the world. (Some of our scholarships will involve in-person training, and some will be online video training.)
Update: applications are now closed (Oct 15). The winners will be announced on Wednesday, October 26th. Stay tuned!

Me – if you’re unable to read the post, probably not. Dang!
These guys are amazing! I am working my way through the modules and can vouch that this is worth way more than it’s priced. If you don’t win, or can’t win, invest in yourself and get in on this learning!!
Great news!!!
There seems to be an issue with the link for “Apply now – applications close Friday, October 14th”. When clicking on it I get a web page error.

Hi Rudy,
Just tested the link from a few different devices and it loaded just fine. Also was able to submit the form without error. Can you make sure the error isn’t on your end, and try again?
Thanks,
Erik
