Udacity Launches AWS Machine Learning Scholarship Program

[Update] – The AWS ML scholarship application is extended to July 12 2021.

Udacity has partnered with AWS to launch the new AWS Machine Learning Scholarship program.

This is an excellent opportunity for developers and devops engineers who are interested in AI/ML to develop object-oriented programming skills, understand the fundamentals of machine learning, and utilize key AWS machine learning technologies and devices, including DeepLens, DeepRacer, and DeepComposer.

From Udacity blog,

The future of work — increased demand for jobs in AI, machine learning, coding — is fast approaching, but the skills gap is widening. In fact, there will be 58 million AI and machine learning jobs by 2022, but only 300,000 people are qualified to fill those roles, according to a report from the World Economic Forum (WEF).

The following graph shows the search trend for machine learning engineer in last five years.
