Registration Scholarship
The Registration Scholarship program exists to support individuals who may not otherwise have the opportunity to attend Linux Foundation events in two categories:
DIVERSITY
Eligibility Requirements: Applicants must be from a traditionally underrepresented and/or marginalized group in the technology and/or open source communities who are unable to attend without some financial assistance. Including, but not limited to: persons identifying as LGBTQIA, women, persons of color, and/or persons with disabilities.
NEED-BASED
Eligibility Requirements: 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.
Registration Scholarship recipients will receive a complimentary registration pass. Registration 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.
Receipt of a scholarship does not, on its own, guarantee entry to the event. Recipients need to adhere to The Linux Foundation COVID-19 rules and regulations. If the recipient does not meet COVID-19 requirements for the event, the scholarship is null and void. Please Note: Attendance at 2022 in-person events requires proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 test.
Applicants can be approved for up to 2 (two) Registration Scholarships per calendar year.
If you have any questions, please contact O3DCON@linuxfoundation.org and a member of our team will be in touch.

Travel Funding
Please note: Travel expenses are not covered under this Registration Scholarship. If you require travel funding in order to attend this event, please fill out the Travel Fund Request Form prior to submitting this Registration Scholarship application.
Unfortunately, we are not able to provide Travel Funding for all requests received. If you require Travel Funding in order to attend this event, we ask that you wait for confirmation that your request has been approved before completing the Registration Scholarship request.
Receipt of Travel Funding does not guarantee entry to the event. Recipients need to adhere to The Linux Foundation COVID-19 rules and regulations. If the recipient does not meet COVID-19 requirements for the event, the travel fund allotted is null and void. Should the recipient not be able to travel due to COVID-19 and travel has already been booked, the recipient will need to work with airlines and hotels to receive a refund. If a refund is not a possibility, The Linux Foundation will reimburse for incurred travel expenses within the allotted amount. Please Note: Attendance at 2022 in-person events requires proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 test.
If you have any questions, please contact travelfund@linuxfoundation.org and a member of our team will be in touch.
