Financial assistance is the cornerstone of the conference's outreach<br>
programme -- the programme helps us to fund registration, travel, and<br>
accommodation expenses for deserving applicants. In doing so, we're<br>
helping to put PyCon Australia within reach of everyone who wants to<br>
attend.<br>
<br>
If you'd enjoy PyCon Australia, or the Australian Python community<br>
would benefit from you coming to the conference, we'd love you to come<br>
along. You can find out more about the specifics of the programme on<br>
our site at <a href="http://2015.pycon-au.org/grants" target="_blank">http://2015.pycon-au.org/grants</a><br>
<br>
PyCon Australia strongly encourages people to apply for financial<br>
assistance -- even if we can’t cover all of your expenses, we will<br>
give you free admission based on need. The application process is<br>
simple, and straightforward. It’s also very liberal -- the only<br>
caveat is that speakers at the conference "get bumped to the top" of<br>
the applications so that we don’t lose a good talk because of<br>
financial need. We also don’t ban anyone from applying.<br>
<br>
Anyone interested in attending PyCon Australia is eligible to apply<br>
for financial assistance. Grants are allocated on the basis of need,<br>
and applications will be assessed by our financial assistance panel.<br>
In short, anyone whose attendance at PyCon Australia will help improve<br>
the Python community in Australia, or around the world, is invited to<br>
apply.<br>
<br>
To apply for financial assistance, fill out our application form,<br>
which you can find at <a href="http://2015.pycon-au.org/grants" target="_blank">http://2015.pycon-au.org/grants</a>. The first round<br>
of applications will be considered after Friday 12 June 2015; the<br>
second round of applications will be considered after Friday 26 June,<br>
2015.<br>
