I never thought a quick Google Form would open the door to world-class data training—but that’s exactly what happened. Recently, I received a DataCamp Scholarship through Data Engineering Pilipinas, and it jump-started my journey toward becoming a data analyst. I saw the opportunity shared in the DEP Community, gave it a shot, and just two days later, I was in.
Since then, I’ve been learning on DataCamp, completely free. I’m now on my 4th course under the Associate Data Analyst track, and each lesson helps me build real, usable skills. The DataCamp Scholarship didn’t just save me money—it gave me access to a structured learning path and a supportive community.
Getting this kind of opportunity without spending ₱8,000–₱10,000 for one year is a huge deal. And it’s not just about the free access—it’s about the motivation and support that comes with being part of the Data Engineering Pilipinas community.
If you’ve been thinking about upskilling in data, tech, or analytics, this is your sign. Check out the DataCamp Scholarship opportunities through DEP and give it a try. You never know—you might be just one form away from a game-changing opportunity.
