Scholarship Mentoring Update (New tier split) (Patreon)

Hi folks, thank you so much for the positive feedback on the new Scholarship Mentoring tier - 4 people have signed up already, and I'm extremely pleased with how it's going! (you may read my original announcement here)

After more thought, I have done what a few people suggested, and split the tier in two. The two new tiers are: Mentoring (Scholarship) and Mentoring (Diversity). In short, the first is for people (like students) with financial restrictions, the second is to save space for people (like women) who are under-represented in tech.

Mentoring (Scholarship) is open to:

• Students (16yo and over)

• People on a fixed income (pension, disability benefits, etc)

• Or financially disadvantaged in other ways I've not thought of (email me to discuss)

Mentoring (Diversity) is open to:

• Women, trans, non-binary & other marginalised genders

• People marginalised by their race

• Or under-represented in tech in other ways I've not thought of (again, email me if unsure)

I found mixing these two groups into one tier unsatisfactory, I believe this is now better, and more clearly saves space for those I'm trying to help.

Of course, (just as in political parties) 2 is only slightly better than 1, ideally I'd be able to use some more granular system than Patreon gives us, but nonetheless I am much happier with this now.

Thank you all so much for your support, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the new video coming out this month!
