Scholarships

The FINOS Registration Scholarship program exists to support individuals who may not otherwise have the opportunity to attend Linux Foundation events in two categories:

  • 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.
  • Applicants should be active community members or students who are not being assisted or sponsored by a company or organization and are unable to attend for financial reasons.

Registration scholarships are designed to support students and community members who want to attend the event but may face financial barriers. Scholarship recipients will receive complimentary event registration in exchange for volunteering a minimum of two hours during the event. Volunteer responsibilities may include onsite support roles such as registration assistance, session support, room moderation, and other similar areas. The number of volunteer hours and specific assignments will be determined closer to the event and communicated in advance.

While scholarships are open to all applicants, priority consideration will be given to students.

Applicants can be approved for up to 2 (two) Registration Scholarships per calendar year.
