Applying for Grants & Scholarships

In our efforts to increase speaker and attendee diversity, we have allocated resources to support those who would not be able to attend DrupalCon due to lack of funding. We particularly encourage first-time attendees, underrepresented minorities, and individuals with low-income status to apply. If you work for a company that has the ability to fund your attendance, we ask that you not apply to save funds for those without the same resources.

Coming together to connect and share in person is key to helping the Drupal community and project thrive, and we are committed to assisting others experience DrupalCon firsthand. Learn more about our grant and scholarship opportunities and apply before the December 4 deadline!
