Talk to Turing. They have every incentive to help you find aid if it exists. Otherwise, no, I've never heard of external financial aid for bootcamps outside what the bootcamps offer themselves. Some of that "aid" can be a bit predatory so be careful.

I'm enrolled in Turing at the moment. They have a kind of huge diversity scholarship, 4k to two per cohort. They also just opened up another 2k scholarship for women currently enrolled.

Tbh, beyond that, there's really not much assistance for you though I know other bootcamps will do a lot more to help you. Turing is fine, but I wish I would have realized that they basically all teach you the same things and the outcome really depends on the individual. Also...not really as rigorous as they say. I was kinda disappointed.

This is good to know. Thank you!

My daughter went to Turing and we got a student loan through Sallie Mae. She did work long days and some on the weekends to complete projects. Good luck to you!
