We offer scholarships because we believe it is important to limit the barriers to participation in our events and community. That being said, we still have operating costs; so please think seriously about what you can contribute to the event, what is not covered by one person must be covered by another. Additionally, while we expect all members of our community to contribute to making our events unique and meaningful, we ask scholarship holders to offer additional volunteer time (
