Scholarships, tuition cost, and payment plans
Students pay $6,000 up front for tuition. Needs-based scholarships are available to cover the $6,000 initial cost, for those who qualify.
Students who receive and accept an offer for an apprenticeship or direct-hire job with a Zip Code Wilmington corporate partner will only owe a balance of $1,500 if (a) the corporate partner agrees to repay the remainder of the student’s tuition after (b) the student completes 26 full weeks of employment in the direct-hire job for that corporate partner.
Students who do not receive an offer for a direct-hire job with a corporate partner, or who decline an offer from a corporate partner, are responsible for paying the remaining balance due in accordance with the Student Tuition Agreement and Promissory Note, up to a maximum balance of $7,500.
Break Into Tech Scholarship
For qualifying Delaware residents, Zip Code Wilmington offers a limited number of scholarships to cover eligible students’ upfront tuition cost, as well as a bi-weekly living stipend. Students' household income must be at or below 350% of the federal poverty line to qualify.
At the present time, scholarships/stipends are not available to those who do not meet the above criteria. We do also do not offer payment plans.
