Scholarships for JSConf India 2023

This year at Jsconf India 2023 will be running our Scholarship Program! As every jsconf across world, we'll provide several free, Scholarship tickets to help underrepresented groups in tech to attend the conference.

Anyone from an underrepresented group in tech is invited to apply for a scholarship. This includes but isn't limited to: women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, disabled people, and people facing economic or social hardships. We want to give them a chance.

This Scholarship is made for you if you wished to attend JSConf India, but you could not afford it for some reason.

Travel Support

This year we won't be able to support international or local travel or stay due to less number of diversity sponsors or supporters. We will keep you all posted if this changes.

The application period is closes on April 30th, Sunday midnight. The results will be announced on May 4th 2023.

Where is the Scholarship Budget coming from?

The budget is filled by generous donors, both from the Attendees and our Sponsors.10% of our sponsorship budget is given to diversity attendees.

Attendees can sponsor the Program with buying Supported tickets. Both Early Bird and Regular tickets has contribution towards our scholarship program. This means that the ticket price includes a small percent of a supported ticket that will be given to someone in need.

Why is this good?

Scholarship Support is not money for a party, nor for fancy catering, or a nice booth.

It is a chance for someone.

Our scholarship program is very much inspired from the jsconf family events like JSConf EU and Jsconf Budapest.We try to reach as many people as possible in the community around the region, and we are working hard, to make this event available for everyone who is interested. But we know many in the region would, but cannot attend such a conference, for various reasons. They can get a ticket to the event, through the Scholarship.

This is a chance for them, to meet people they can learn from, see talks they can benefit from, a chance to step forward.

A chance for you to help someone in an excellent way for a reasonable price.

How does the scholarship awarding works?

All applicants for the Scholarship Program has to go through an application procedure. Along with personal details for the tickets itself, we ask applicants a few questions about what they do in tech or what they wish to learn on the event. These answers are helpful for the jury, who will evaluate the applications and award the tickets.We unfortunately cannot reveal the name of jury prior the conference.

We, the organizers, do not take part in the jury process.To manage the scholarship budget, we have selected team members on the organizing team.

We are learning as we curate such program for wider audiences.If you have any suggestions or questions feel free to reach out to us over email.
