codehouse scholars initiative
Congratulations to our Cohort 2 CodeHouse Scholars!
A huge congratulations to our graduating scholars! Your commitment and hard work have paid off, and the entire CodeHouse community is cheering you on as you step into this next chapter.
“Coming from a science background, coding initially felt intimidating, but CodeHouse created an environment where learning and collaboration felt natural. Being surrounded by motivated students helped me build confidence and showed me how technology can bring people from different disciplines together.”
- Anthony Nicholson Jr., Morehouse c/o ‘26
“The most impactful part of CodeHouse has been the relentless, visible support system. Their presence served as a constant reminder that if they could do it, I could too. They didn't just give me a platform; they gave me a mirror to see my own potential.”
- Journei Ferguson, Spelman c/o ‘26
“For me, the most impactful part has been making connections with other CodeHouse scholars, whom I may have otherwise never met.”
- Temitope Adeyemo, Clark Atlanta University c/o ‘26
“I come from a small town in North Carolina where I was typically the only Black person in a classroom. The most impactful part of Codehouse has been the lifelong connections. I was thrilled to be surrounded by so many intelligent, ambitious, Black students. Codehouse gave me a family.”
- Carson Pearce, NC A&T c/o ‘26
“CodeHouse has helped me build confidence in myself and feel more connected to the tech community. My cohort is full of ambitious and supportive people, which has been incredibly motivating.”
- Berkeley Elizabeth Clayborne, Howard c/o ‘26
