<p>Hi All:</p>

<p>Impact Hub, <a href="http://khon2.com/2014/07/15/hawaiis-first-co-working-space-for-social-innovators/" target="_blank">Hawaii’s first co-working space for social entrepreneurs</a>, is scheduled to open in Kaka’ako, Honolulu, in October, and it’s seeking members and volunteers.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The hub is a combination of co-working space, innovation lab and business incubator for entrepreneurs focused on making a better world, and is part of a network of over 50 social impact hubs across the globe. (More info here: <a href="http://www.impacthub.net/" target="_blank">impacthub.net</a>) It will be offering individual and company memberships.</p>
<p></p>
<p>In particular, it is seeking founding companies that will help launch the space. Basically, founding companies would get 4 full time year long hub memberships (they can distribute the hours as needed to individuals in their organization). And they would be permanently listed as founding Impact Hub Honolulu Members. This is priced at $5,000 each. Members would be able to connect with a local and global entrepreneurial community.</p>

<p><b>Dev League Announces Scholarships and Tuition-Assistance for Three New Courses</b></p>
<p><i> </i></p>
<p><b><i>Female Hacker Scholarship, Upstart.com partnership and Oahu WorkLinks job program help qualified applicants pay for coding boot camp</i></b></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Honolulu – Today, Dev League (<a href="http://devleague.com/" target="_blank">http://devleague.com</a>) is announcing two scholarships, as well as partnerships with both a tuition-assistance loan plan and a federally funded workforce development program to help motivated individuals learn professional web development at its coding boot camp located at the Manoa Innovation Center. The graduates of the 12-week boot camp gain access to the company’s 27 employer partners seeking to hire entry-level web developers both here in Hawaii and on the mainland.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Female Hacker scholarship is 25 percent off the cost of tuition for a single selected female applicant. The Low Income Scholarship is 100 percent off the cost of tuition for a single qualifying applicant. Dev League sponsors both scholarships in an effort to increase diversity and opportunity for demographics in the tech industry that are currently under represented.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dev League’s partnership with Upstart.com is a tuition-assistance plan that enables applicants to crowd fund their own tuition over a term of five or 10 years with repayment based on future income. With over $3 million in pledges to date for 284 “upstarts”, this unique loan program helps match qualified “upstart” individuals with “backers” who make offers to help fund an individual. Dev League is one of only a handful of coding boot camps that Upstart.com has integrated into their funding program.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oahu WorkLinks job development program helps qualified applicants to pay up to 80 percent of the tuition of Dev League via its federally funded job training services as part of the Workforce Investment Act program. Funds available through the program are grants.</p>
<p></p>
<p>“At just over the half-way point of the current boot camp, students recently hosted a developer presentation for other working professionals on a popular JavaScript framework, as well as hosted a booth at the recent Mini Maker Faire held at Iolani School’s Sullivan Center for Innovation and Leadership demonstrating real-time multi-user data synchronization via a web application with integration using Raspberry Pi hardware to create a portable crowd driven jukebox,” says Dev League co-founder and curriculum developer Jason Sewell.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To learn more about the scholarships, tuition-assistance programs and to apply, visit the Dev League web site at<a href="http://devleague.com/devleague" target="_blank">http://devleague.com/devleague</a>. The company has posted three new courses on its web site. These include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Part-time 26-week evening course, April 28 to October 25</li>
<li>Full-time 12-week day course, May 27 to August 15</li>
<li>Full-time 12-week day course, September 2 to November 21</li>
</ul>
<p>“Applicant admission and screening for all courses happens immediately after we receive your application,” says Sewell. “We make scholarship decisions based on the quality of the applications we receive. Early applications get priority treatment. Space is limited to 20 students per course so apply now to reserve your spot.”</p>
