Opportunity Grants
- You can apply to have some or all of your conference attendance costs (registration, hotel, airfare) covered.
- Just like submitting a talk, details count!
- Your application should include specifics of how attending the event will benefit you, and how you plan to
- share
- the benefit with others in the community.
+ PgUS established a Diversity Program in 2015 by unanimous vote of the Board. This program ran through the end of
+ 2025, providing scholarships to more than 20 individuals in that year.
+
In 2026, we have expanded the scope of the program and renamed it as the Community Development Committee. The
+ scholarship criteria have been revised, and the Scholarships are now known as Opportunity Grants. The expanded
+ program will still focus on conference travel support, and the revised criteria will increase the Committee's
+ ability to both bring new members into the community and also to help current members become more involved in
+ community activities.
- The Diversity Committee would like to thank our friends and members of the Django community for allowing us to
- review and borrow from their program.
+ You can apply for an Opportunity Grant using the application here.
+ Just like submitting a talk, details matter! Your application should include specifics of how the grant will
+ benefit your education and/or career, how you plan to share the benefit with others in the community, and the
+ kind of role you are interested in taking on as part of the PostgreSQL community if you are not already actively
+ involved.
