Hi! Are there any scholarship programs similar to Girls Who Code or Kode With Klossy? My passion--and hopefully major--is Computer Science. What are some programs (application-based) that will help me get into a college focused on this? I'm mainly looking for programs for people of age 13-16 :)

I had typed out a long answer to this and I guess it didn't get saved when I posted...bummer. Check out this list: https://learntocodewith.me/posts/13-places-women-learn-code/. Not all of those programs are necessarily aimed at the age group you're looking for but that should give you a good starting point - plenty offer free programs. New York TechScholars is another program but it might be too late in the summer to start that. Also check out Alice. While it's not a class or girl specific it's a program designed by Carnegie Mellon and completely free. They have tons of resources on their site too to learn coding (http://www.alice.org/resources/).
If you're having trouble finding other girl coding programs I'd recommend looking into co-ed programs too. While I completely understand wanting a girl focused program you'll still learn the same code either way. I did find some co-ed programs that were majority girl participants so if you're interested in those let me know - I think there were a couple a saw.
To keep this community safe and supportive:
Thank you so much!! These programs seem really interesting 😀
