The Sims Team Up with Ironhack to Provide Tech Scholarships
Posted by Eric Watson | News, PC | No CommentsIn honor of The Sims 4 Discover University, EA has partnered with Ironhack to provide a chance to win a scholarship at one of Ironhack’s tech campuses.
With The Sims 4 Discover University Expansion Pack, Sims can go to school to learn the in-demand skills needed for their future careers.

If the technical test was successful, you’ll be selected for a 10-15 minute personal interview. The interview can be conducted via video call or at a local Ironhack campus. Personal Interviews are available until Jan. 24, 2020. Winners will be notified the following week.
Both partial and full scholarships are available, and Ironhack offers 24-week part-time and nine-week full-time programs for each course.
Nine Ironhack campuses are available around the world, with the only US campus in Miami, FL. Ironhack does not offer remote or online courses, and does not offer visa support for international students.
