Financial Aid

All who look for help attending the conference are welcomed to apply. The organizers will review all applications and allocate resources based on both the conference budget and the applicants’ conditions. While we hope to support everyone to participate in the community, the budget is unfortunately limited, and so is the financial aid program. In cases of insufficient resources, we wish to support those who are most in need and to maximize community gain available from the applicant’s participation. As such, we may be forced to turn down your application to prioritize others.

Eligibility

The financial aid program is open to all contributors, attendees, students,and speakers and aims to provide assistance to those who otherwise might not be able to attend the conference.

Auxiliary Items

The Financial Aid accepts conference fees and travel compensation but may be reduced based on the number of applicants.

Reimbursement

PyCon TW will e-mail you the discount code for registration if your application is accepted.

Deadline

The Financial Aid Program will be closed on July 1st (15:30 UTC).

Some Tips

  • Describe your interests, what you did in the Python community, and what you plan to do in the future
  • Describe why you would require additional help to attend. For example, higher transportation cost than average attendees is needed, that cause financial difficulty.
  • Describe what makes your situation unique. Say, you might represent a particular group that is not well-represented.
  • Describe how other attendees would benefit from your presence. Say, you’ll share your experience, or can help raise awareness of an issue in the community, etc.
