Confab Equity Scholarship

Scholarship coverage

We’ll work with selected applicants to understand their barriers to attendance. Applicants may request any of the following:

• A free conference pass
• Free attendance at workshops
• Lodging at the conference hotel
• Airfare or other travel costs
• Childcare
• Meals or meal stipends
• Translation services
• Special seating, AV, or other accommodations for disabilities
• Other accommodations (please specify in your application)
  

We want to eliminate barriers to attendance for scholarship recipients, but we realize those barriers may be different for different people.

We ask that applicants be as explicit as possible about their needs and expectations to ensure they have great experiences at Confab.
