I run Deep learning retreat, a 3-month school that takes pretty advanced machine learners and gets them to work together with mentors to produce a killer deep learning portfolio project. We want these projects to have social impact (example: a malaria microscope).<p>We are launching our first batch in SF. We are going to live together (participants and mentors) at walking distance from the office. It's going to be great.<p>It costs 12k. And this is clearly a problem for many, many people. So I'm happy to announce that a benefactor that wishes to remain anonymous contributed money to start up a scholarship program. This is really amazing because we while we didn’t know each other before… we were still united by our mental model of how deep learning can change the world.<p>The scholarships will work as a ‘pay it forward’ model. That is, if you got one, whenever you are well-to-do in your life, give one to someone who needs it. Be anonymous.<p>Since a lot of influential people hang out here, I want to ask you. Can you recommend someone for the scholarship? It's merit first, then need. We want to get the best people possible, and have the maximum amount of impact.<p>If you want to apply yourself, head to <a href="https://deeplearningretreat.com/deep-learning-retreat-scholarships/" rel="nofollow">https://deeplearningretreat.com/deep-learning-retreat-schola...</a>
