Equity & Access

CtrlAltX Studios recognizes that unpaid and for-credit opportunities can create access barriers. While some opportunities are unpaid and may be eligible for academic credit* (pending approval by the student’s college or university), we offer a limited, completion-based stipend to support participation where possible. Stipend availability is subject to cohort size and available resources.
