Get your head in the clouds

What is an ASU Cloud Scholar?

ASU Cloud Scholars are enrolled first-year students interested in jumping into life as a Sun Devil and beginning to develop personal and professional skills before setting foot on an ASU campus. ASU Cloud Scholars are invited by Admission Services, Amazon Web Services, and ASU’s University Technology Office to develop hands-on cloud experience and take advantage of networking opportunities, while helping solve local community challenges with solution-based hackathons occurring in the spring, summer and fall of 2021.

Are you not technical? Don’t worry! There are many cloud-related jobs that don’t require you to be and you will be teamed up with students and mentors along the way to help you succeed in the program.
