Part-Time Web Developer Bootcamp

Nashville Opportunity Tuition (formerly known as Tech Apprentice Tuition)

There are five seats available in each evening bootcamp under the Nashville Opportunity Tuition (formerly known as Tech Apprentice Tuition).

Our Nashville Opportunity Tuition (formerly known as Tech Apprentice Tuition) allows you to defer most of the cost of your training until you graduate and go to work as a software developer. You will pay us $1,500 as a tuition deposit on acceptance to the program and then nothing more until after graduation. After graduation, if you accept a position from one of our partner companies, the rest of your tuition will be reimbursed by your employer. If you choose to go to work for someone other than one of our partners, we'll work with you to either negotiate payment from your new employer and/or work out a payment plan by which you can reimburse the school.

• Initial tuition deposit of $1,500, due on acceptance of our offer of admission
• $2,400 scholarship
• $8,000 tuition balance to be repaid on employment as outlined above

The Nashville Opportunity Tuition (formerly known as Tech Apprentice Tuition) program is a mutual risk-sharing program between NSS and the Student. NSS invests in the student through a scholarship and through deferring the balance of the student's tuition until the student a) graduates and b) becomes employed as a developer. Until those conditions are met, the student does not owe NSS the tuition balance.

Selection criteria for the Nashville Opportunity Tuition (formerly known as Tech Apprentice Tuition) includes:

• Limited to Nashville area residents or individuals who grew up in Nashville/Middle Tennessee and have strong family and personal connections to the area
• Limited to students that are committed to staying in Middle Tennessee post-graduation
• Priority is given to students whose economic circumstances would otherwise prevent them attending Nashville Software School
• Priority is also given to individuals from groups that are under-represented in tech careers (e.g. females, African-Americans, etc.)
• A limited number of cost-of-living stipends are available on a needs-driven basis to Opportunity Tuition during the final 3 months of the program.
