The Dronecode Foundation scholarship program exists to support individuals who may not otherwise have the opportunity to attend our events in two categories:
Diversity
Applicants must be from traditionally underrepresented and/or marginalized groups in the technology and/or open source communities who are unable to attend without some financial assistance. Including, but not limited to persons identifying as: LGBTQIA+, women, persons of color, and/or persons with disabilities.
Need-Based
Applicants should be active community members who are not being assisted or sponsored by a company or organization, and are unable to attend for financial reasons.
The Dronecode Foundation is pleased to offer two types of scholarships in each of the above categories: registration-only scholarships, and travel funding.
Registration-only scholarships include complimentary registration to the PX4 Developer Summit in New Orleans, LA. Travel expenses are not covered under this scholarship type.
Travel funding scholarships include complimentary registration and up to a maximum of $2,500 USD to reimburse to reimburse actual travel expenses. Please note that reimbursements are made after the event, and the stipend may only be used for the following: coach airfare, hotel / accommodations (up to four nights), transportation to and from the airport, and visa application fee. If your travel fund application is approved, you will be required to show proof of attendance in order to be reimbursed.
This application is for PX4 Developer Summit funding. Check the ROSCon website for information on available funding for ROSCon attendees.
