Fractal Tech Accelerator Scholarship

Fractal Tech Accelerator Scholarship

We're investing in high-potential builders who will succeed in AI engineering.

Announcing scholarships available for our Spring 2026 cohort!

Application Form Here!

Application deadline: December 5, 2025

Available Awards

Full Scholarships: 2 per cohort

100% tuition ($18,000) + materials covered.

Who Should Apply

You're a strong candidate if you're:

  • A career switcher with quantitative skills looking to move into AI engineering
  • Coming from math, physics, or adjacent fields and frustrated with your current trajectory
  • A CS grad who learned theory but lacks practical engineering skills and market readiness
  • Currently underemployed or blocked from opportunities despite having the raw ability

We're looking for people where this program specifically changes outcomes. We’re not a program that just adds a line to an already strong resume.

Selection Criteria

Applications are evaluated on four equally-weighted factors (0–5 scale each; average ≥3.0 recommended for merit consideration):

1. Commitment & Availability

Can you dedicate the time required to execute? This is intensive.

2. Aptitude & Background

LinkedIn/CV, projects, portfolio submission. We're assessing technical foundation & learning velocity. If you’re not technically skilled, are you a good learner?

3. Trajectory, Impact, Need

How does this program specifically change your career outcomes? We prioritize applicants where this is a genuine unlock, not incremental.

4. Program Fit

Does our curriculum and placement approach align with where you're headed?

FAQ

Why does this program matter?

It’s no secret that the job market (even for engineers!) is simply crazy right now. Knowing how to code is not enough to be hired. Our program turns people into people who are coders, yes, but also teaches them how to network, how to display their portfolios, and how to be employable.

Can I apply if I'm not sure I can commit to the full program?

No. Only apply if you're confident you can execute on the time commitment. We're selecting for people ready to go.

Can I defer my merit award to a later cohort?

No. The award is for Spring 2026 enrollment only. We’ll run this again for our Summer 2026 cohort.

I have a non-traditional background. Should I still apply?

Yes, if you meet the aptitude criteria. We care about capability and trajectory, not credential box-checking.
