Code4Lib 2023 Diversity Scholarships
As part of Code4Lib's ongoing commitment to reducing economic barriers that prevent participation for underrepresented groups, and to achieving a balanced representation of the human experience, we are pleased to announce that we are now seeking applicants for our 2023 Diversity Scholarship program! The Diversity Scholarship Committee hopes to award multiple scholarships, based on merit and need. Each scholarship will cover up to $1500 for travel costs, lodging, and conference fees for selected applicants from North America - with the potential for one or two international scholarships of up to $3000 - to attend the 2023 Code4Lib Conference in Princeton, NJ https://2023.code4lib.org/.
We do not expect scholarship recipients to be responsible for being an ambassador for their group or an educator of others during the conference. While learning and exchange may happen as a result of interactions between participants, scholarship recipients are encouraged to focus on getting the most out of their experience and have no special duties or obligations apart from conference attendance, engaged participation to their comfort, and giving us feedback on their experience.
*** The deadline for applications is January 13th, 2023 at 11:59 PM ET. ***
Check the Code4Lib Conference Scholarships site for full details https://2023.code4lib.org/general-info/scholarships.
The scholarship will cover conference registration and hotel accommodations up front to scholarship awardees. Other incidentals like travel and meals may be reimbursed based on the amount awarded. Reimbursement will be managed independently at the conference. Pairing up housing with other scholarship awardees or conference attendees may also be accommodated. Please contact code4libaward@gmail.com with any questions about this arrangement. We want to ensure that financial issues do not discourage anyone from applying to this award. The scholarship committee will notify all applicants by January 23, 2023 regardless of award results.
Sincerely,
