Google has extended the #GrowWithGoogle scholarship challenge in partnership with @Udacity until December 31. You can apply here -
https://udacity.com/grow-with-google I participated in the beta testing of the beginning Android Google/Udacity online nano course, and it was very well done. Much better than most, if not all, the online Java/Android/CSS/Javascript courses I have seen. There is also a web developer track, if Java/Android is not your thing. There are 50,000 scholarships for Phase 1, and then 5,000 scholarships for Phase 2, which is the Google nano degree program. The application for a scholarship is online and simple. I am interested in the group's opinion of Google's nano degrees and Google certs. Are they of any value, or just one more badge to add to a Linkedin profile? Good luck!
