Scholarship: No one should be left out

One of the core values of Code & Supply is enabling everyone to learn. C&S has a long history of providing scholarships to attendees in need. That is why we established the non-profit Code & Supply Scholarship Fund.

Who qualifies for a Scholarship?

Our goal is to assist individuals with the greatest need, individuals from traditionally underrepresented groups to enter and advance in the software industry, or both. Code & Supply Scholarship Fund is presently targeting people internationally matching these descriptions:

    • Black
    • Indigenous cultures, such as Native Americans
    • Hispanic/Latino
    • Gender, Sexual, and Romantic Minorities (GSRM)

What does a scholarship cover?

A scholarship may be used to cover all or a part of a recipient’s travel and accommodations.

C&S donated several dozen tickets to the Scholarship Fund, so registration is covered, as well.

When is the deadline to apply?

For ticket-only requests, there is no deadline to apply. CSSF Selection Committee will award as many ticket-only requests as donated tickets are available.

For requests requiring travel reimbursement, the deadline to apply is July 1, 2019. Scholarships are granted as funds are available. After that deadline, if funds are still available, CSSF may still accept applications for travel assistance until July 21, 2019. After that date, only ticket-only requests will be considered.

Where do I apply?

After reviewing the scholarship page on codeandsupply.fund, click the APPLY NOW link at the bottom of that page or you can proceed directly to the application here.

How can I donate my extra ticket to the scholarship fund?

You can reassign your ticket to scholarship@codeandsupply.co. To do this, go to codeandsupply.co and ensure that you are logged in. Click on your username in the top right corner. Near the bottom of the user page, you will see your Purchases and your Tickets. Click Reassign on the ticket you want to donate. Enter scholarship@codeandsupply.co in the box and click REASSIGN. That’s it!

The Scholarship Fund admins will send you a donation receipt in February 2020 or sooner. Your donation may be tax-deductible in the amount for which you paid for the donated ticket.
