The Linux Foundation’s registration scholarship program exists to support individuals who may not otherwise have the opportunity to attend Linux Foundation events in two categories:
- Diversity scholarships for traditionally underrepresented and/or marginalized persons
- Need-based scholarships for community members who lack the funds to purchase their own ticket
Scholarship recipients will receive a complimentary registration pass to attend their selected event(s). Scholarships are awarded based on a combination of need and impact. Selection will be made by an assembled group of reviewers who will assess each applicant’s request.
Eligibility Requirements
Diversity Scholarship: Applicants must be from a traditionally underrepresented and/or marginalized group in the technology and/or open source communities including, but not limited to: persons identifying as LGBTQIA, women, persons of color, and/or persons with disabilities who are unable to attend without some financial assistance.
Need-Based Scholarship: Individuals who apply should be active members of the open source community who are unable to attend for financial reasons and are unable to get funding from their companies.
Applicants can be approved for up to 2 (two) scholarships per calendar year.
As this event has moved to a virtual experience due to the COVID-19 epidemic, we are no longer offering travel funding.

All Applicants Will be Notified: By 10:00 PM PST on June 28, 2020
