[Un]prompted Scholarship Program Application
The [un]prompted conference is one of the most important gatherings of AI security researchers and practitioners. The Decibel Scholarship Program was created to provide financial assistance to attendees whose fees are not paid by their employer. Scholarship recipients will have 100% of their registration expense ($850) paid directly to [un]prompted which is a 501c3 non-profit organization.

Please submit the following information to apply for a scholarship. We will fast track applications who receive a referral from [un]prompted scholarship committee members and conference track leaders. The application process relies on peer review and good faith attestation of need. There is no financial means test.

Over $100,000 has been committed to fund the scholarship program through the generosity of the startups in our community including Censys, DropZone, Ent Security, Mallory, Nebulock, Pixee, Sondera, SpecterOps, and Sublime Security.
