as a part of the deal, AT&T will help provide 100 Udacity Nanodegree scholarships to support skills development through VetsinTech and the Military Child Education Coalition.

We hope these Udacity Nanodegree scholarships will help prepare even more veterans and their families with the skills and expertise they need to excel in today’s tech workforce.”
