The financial aid work group has started to email everyone who applied
for financial aid this year.

We are fortunate to have a budget of almost 20,000 EUR available for
financial aid this year, thanks to well running ticket sales, speakers
who donated their speaker discounts towards the finaid budget, and a
generous grant from the Python Software Foundation (PSF) as our
financial aid sponsor:

               *** Python Software Foundation (PSF) ***

                      https://www.python.org/psf/

We received 52 request for financial aid from all around the world, 12
from Europe, 2 from Latin America, 2 from Asia, 1 from Africa and 1
from North America.

This year we focused on students (40%) and unemployed people (30%),
with the remaining funds going to attendees from startups, academia
and research. We also have specific diversity grants for Django Girls,
PyLadies and motivated women. 75% of the financial aid was given to
speakers, poster presenters, volunteers and Python community
contributors.

Waiting list
------------

Financial aid applicants who were not selected for the first round of
grants will be placed on a waiting list.

Looking for additional financial aid sponsors
---------------------------------------------

Companies which want to help raise the financial aid budget to also
support those people who are currently on the waiting list, please
contact the sponsor work group at sponsoring@europython.eu.

Enjoy,
