Scholarships

Our generous hosts at Washington University in St Louis have made provision for the award of up to three scholarships to Connect 2019.  These scholarships will cover the cost of conference registration and three nights' accommodation only.  They do not cover travel expenses, or evening meals.  (Please note we briefly said, in error, that accommodation was not included.)

The Samvera Connect Scholarships Committee is committed to promoting diversity within the Samvera Community. Anyone who identifies with a group that is historically under-represented at such events (including, but not limited to, African Americans, Latinx, Indigenous Peoples, people with disabilities, cis women, people of transgender experience, and people of non-binary gender) is encouraged to apply.

Applications are open to all Samvera Community participants but priority consideration will be given to first time attendees, early career professionals, applicants from historically under-represented groups, and international applicants. 

Please note that Samvera operates a Code of Conduct and has an Anti-harassment Policy, both currently under revision.

The scholarships application process is now closed for 2019.
