The Drupal Association provides scholarships to potential and returning DrupalCon attendees. The DrupalCon Scholarship Program Mentor publicizes this program, encourages applications, selects recipients, and offers support to scholars in experiencing a successful DrupalCon.
Impact:
The technology industry presents financial, cultural and linguistic barriers to many, especially those who are new to the space, and Drupal is no different. Scholarships enable wider participation in the Drupal community; help address race, gender, nationality and other inequities; and ensure that DrupalCons both consist of and benefit a diverse range of those working in, with and around Drupal.
Accountable for:
- Publicize the scholarship program, especially to under-represented communities
- Encourage and support individuals applying to the program
- Select recipients
- Support recipients in having a successful DrupalCon!
How to get started:
As each DrupalCon is announced, look for requests for planning team members.
