The Dan Kohn Scholarship Fund exists to support individuals who may not otherwise have the opportunity to attend in three categories:

Scholarships are awarded based on a combination of need and impact. Scholarships are NOT transferable to another person, or any other event. Selection will be made by an assembled group of reviewers who will assess each applicant’s request. Application information will be kept confidential.

Scholarship recipients will receive a complimentary All Access pass to attend KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in Paris, France.
 
Travel funding scholarship recipients may receive up to a max of $2,500 USD to reimburse actual travel expenses. Please note that reimbursements are made after the event, and the stipend may only be used for the following: coach train, bus or airfare, hotel / accommodations (up to five nights), and transportation to and from the airport/train/bus station.
