TL;DR
I've missed a lot of opportunities simply because I didn't know they existed.
So every Friday, I'll share opportunities, programs, events,...

PLEASE PLEASE keep this going! This is really helpful, informative, and perfect timing for the Summer for those that need opportunities!! Thanks for sharing :D
Thank you so much, Francis 😃 That means a lot.
I've already started collecting things for the next edition, so hopefully there'll be plenty more opportunities to share in the coming weeks.
This is incredibly helpful! It’s easy to get overwhelmed trying to hunt down quality grants and fellowships while also trying to keep up with actual development. Having open opportunities like the AI grant and fellowships curated in one clear spot is a massive timesaver for anyone trying to build or transition into the AI space right now. Definitely bookmarking this for the resource links alone. Thanks for putting this together!
Thank you so much, Syed 😃
That's exactly the problem I was hoping to help with. There are so many grants, fellowships, programs, and resources out there, and a lot of them are surprisingly easy to miss.
Really glad you found it useful, and thanks for bookmarking it! Hopefully, future editions will make discovering these opportunities a little easier 😄
This is great. I will look forward to it every week. I usually just add whatever I find in my obsidian list. somehow in this huge internet noise, it's very easy to miss good opportunities.
Thank you, Anmol 😃
That's exactly how I feel too. There are so many great opportunities out there, but it's surprisingly easy to miss them in all the noise.
Hopefully this helps surface a few worth adding to that Obsidian list each week 😄
What opportunities, communities, grants, fellowships, hackathons, conferences, or resources have you come across recently that deserve more attention?
I am always looking for things to include in future editions, so feel free to share anything interesting you have found. If I feature one of your finds in a future edition, I will make sure to credit you.
Small request: If you're sharing a link, please avoid posting raw URLs directly. DEV sometimes filters them before I get a chance to see the comment.
Instead, use the opportunity name as the link text, for example:
[Flow Fellowship](https://example.com)and include a short description of what it is.What I appreciate most about this post is that it highlights a problem we don't talk about enough: access to opportunities is often determined by information, not ability.
A lot of developers assume that people who get grants, fellowships, research opportunities, or startup support are simply more talented or more qualified. Sometimes that's true, but often they're just closer to the right communities and information channels.
I've realized that one of the biggest career advantages isn't necessarily having the most technical knowledge—it's consistently discovering opportunities before they disappear. A fellowship application, a grant, a mentorship program, or even a community can completely change someone's trajectory, but only if they know it exists in time.
That's why I think this series is valuable. It lowers the "information gap" that exists in tech. Not everyone is plugged into the same networks, Discord servers, newsletters, or social circles. Curating opportunities in one place makes them more accessible to people who might otherwise miss them entirely.
As someone working toward building a career in tech, I often find that the hardest part isn't learning. It's figuring out where to apply that learning and which doors are actually open.
Looking forward to future editions. I think the long-term value of this series won't just be the opportunities themselves, but helping people discover paths they didn't know were available.
Thank you so much, Aalaa.
I think you put it better than I did.
A lot of opportunities aren't missed because people lack the skills or interest. They're missed because people never hear about them in time.
That's one of the main reasons I started this series. I've personally come across fellowships, grants, and programs months after applications had already closed and always thought, "I wish I had known about this earlier."
Hopefully these editions can help make some of those opportunities a little easier to discover.
And I completely agree with your point about figuring out where to apply what you're learning. Sometimes finding the right opportunity is just as important as building the skills themselves.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for reading the series 😃
This is genuinely useful. One of the hardest parts of getting involved in open source, research, or startups isn't the work itself it's simply discovering the opportunities in time. A weekly roundup like this lowers that barrier significantly. Thanks for putting it together.
Thank you 😃
You summed up the problem better than I did 😄
A lot of opportunities are out there, but they're only useful if people actually find them in time. Hopefully this series can help make that a little easier.
Lovely!
Thank you so much 😃
Awesome. Thank you. Resource sharing is always a need!!
Thank you, Phinn 😃 Appreciate it. I'll keep the radar going.

I remember something about links getting pulled so : fellowship opportunity through anthropic to learn Claude, salary for a yr, then place in a non profit. Over 18 and under two yrs full time work experience. I did read to find out of that's total work experience or just in dev/codind/AI?? Or adjacent.
It's called Claude corps
