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.
