I suggest you take a look at groups like skillsfund. they audit boot camps and provide scholarships.
the risk in going to a bootcamp, is that most people who would like to go to a boot camp are very easy to take advantage of. career transition often means that you are not in a position to be diligent or picky in your selection. many boot camps will make claims like their average graduate make $x per year. You want to make sure that you understand what percentage of their students graduate, what percentage of their students get placed in the field, and how they actually gather their averages.
unless your boot camp offers placement, and has transparent means of gathering incomes , you are much more likely to make $(y < x) at your first company out of a boot camp. This should not necessarily be a deterrent, but should be kept in mind.
I have known graduates of boot camps to be exceptional developers, that will likely do very well in the field. Their biggest challenge is placing their first job.
others, who are likely without prior expirience, graduate with skills that are just below industry needs. those need to find companies that are interested in growing them actively, which is very difficult. if you can go into a program with at least some proof of knowledge , you will be far better off.
