Bloom Institute of Technology is a pretty cool name. I'm disappointed they're not referring to themselves as BIT.
Sounds like they want to sound more 'worthy' be calling themselves an institute.

> A student is only eligible for the refund if they apply to 10 jobs, network with 10 professionals and post at least 5 GitHub contributions to their public GitHub profile per week, for 46 of the 52 weeks within a year.

Does this mean you need to apply for 10 jobs, network with 10 professional per week or is it only for the GitHub contributions?

Also do they really charge $30k for an online course?

> The financing instrument allows students to take a loan with zero dollars upfront, and then get 110% of their tuition refunded, including fees and interest from an approved lender, if they are unable to secure a job within the next year.

Ok. There is always a 'catch' which is:

   'A student is only eligible for the refund if they apply to 10 jobs, network with 10 professionals and post at least 5 GitHub contributions to their public GitHub profile per week, for 46 of the 52 weeks within a year.'
Translation: We will make sure that you are not getting a refund.
Yes. It's hard to read these changes (along with the prior layoffs) as anything other than their business model wasn't working at all and they've had to change to being a regular code bootcamp.
