Scholarship Program

Until further notice, SEI's scholarship program is on hold and no new applications are being accepted. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

SEI’s new scholarship program has been recently expanded to meet the needs of more students seeking SE training at affordable rates through discounts on tuition to United States-based trainings. Awards come in the form of partial tuition coverage, which is applied to the student’s account pre-registration.

All scholarship awards are valid for one year following the award date. After that point, applicants will need to submit a new application. Scholarships are not retroactively applied to completed registrations.
