As part of Code4Lib's ongoing commitment to reducing economic barriers and ensuring balanced representation from underrepresented groups, we are pleased to announce that we are now seeking applicants for our [https://2025.code4lib.org/general-info/scholarships 2025 Diversity Scholarship program]. The Code4Lib Scholarship Committee seeks to award several Diversity Scholarships based on merit and need. Domestic applicants (in the United States and Canada) can receive up to $1,750 USD. These funds are intended to cover travel expenses, hotel accommodations, and conference fees for the 2025 Code4Lib Conference Princeton, NJ. The deadline for applications is '''Friday, January 24, 2025, 11:59 PM PST'''.
Scholarship recipients will have their conference registration and hotel accommodations covered upfront. Hotel accommodations will be reimbursed. Other incidentals, like local transportation and meals, may be reimbursed depending on the awarded amount. Reimbursements will be processed at the conference. Additionally, there is an option to share accommodations with fellow scholarship awardees or other conference attendees. For inquiries about these arrangements, please contact '''code4lib-scholarships@googlegroups.com'''. Our goal is to ensure that financial concerns do not discourage anyone from applying.
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 level, and giving us feedback on their experience.
