The Linux Foundation opens scholarship program

[securitybreach]

Are you happy with your life? Maybe you are stuck in a dead-end job. Maybe you are unemployed and living on your mom's couch. ****, maybe you just need to enhance your skills for your current job. You know you need to make a change, but you keep putting it off. What is a smart path to take?

 

Linux. Yes, careers involved in Linux are in high demand. Getting certified in some way is not only personally rewarding, but also improves your employment potential by bolstering your resume. If you do not have money for such a thing, I have good news -- you could get a scholarship from The Linux Foundation. In other words, you can get a free education and certification. Will you improve your life by applying?

 

"The Linux Foundation this year is expanding its Scholarship Program to enable more individuals to get started in a lucrative IT career or to increase their Linux skill set. Fourteen scholarships will be awarded in seven categories to individuals who demonstrate need and who have already displayed interest in or knowledge of Linux and open source software. This is nine more scholarship opportunities than in years past, and includes two new categories: Linux Newbies and Teens-in-Training", says The Linux Foundation.

 

The foundation further explains, "also new this year, recipients will receive a Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator (LFCS) or Linux Foundation Certified Engineer (LFCE) exam as part of their scholarship. Linux Foundation Certifications are widely recognized for being performance-based, distribution-flexible and available anytime, anywhere".

The Linux foundation shares the below scholarship-eligible classes.

• Embedded Linux Development
  
• Embedded Linux Development with Yocto Project/OpenEmbedded
  
• Developing Device Drivers
  
• Linux Kernel Internals and Debugging
  
• Developing Applications for Linux
  
• Linux System Administration
  
• Linux Network Management
  
• Linux Performance Tuning
  
• OpenStack Cloud Architecture and Deployment
  
• Linux KVM Virtualization
  

As you can see, these are not beginner classes. While anyone can apply, I would suggest only doing so if you have a basic understanding of Linux. If you are truly a newbie, the foundation states that you must at least complete the Intro course found here.
