Announcing the MongoDB World 2016 Diversity Scholarship
As part of MongoDB’s commitment to change the ratio in technology, we’re offering 10 Diversity Scholarships to MongoDB World!
MongoDB’s Diversity Scholarship program supports members of groups who are underrepresented in the technology industry. This includes, but is not limited to, people who identify as African American, Hispanic, LGBTQ, women, low-income, and people with disabilities who may not otherwise have the opportunity to attend MongoDB events.
Eligible candidates can apply online. Hurry, the applications close this Friday, April 8!
Award
Diversity Scholarship recipients receive:
- Complimentary admission to MongoDB World
- Complimentary admission to a pre-conference workshop of their choice
- A MongoDB certification voucher
- Three-month access to paid MongoDB University courses
Additionally, scholarship recipients may be featured in a blog post.
Eligibility
Applicants must be 18 years old or older, and must belong to a group that is underrepresented in the technology industry.
Scholarships are awarded based on a combination of need and impact. Selection will be made by a committee that will review each application. All application info will be kept confidential. Recipients will be notified by April 15.
Don’t qualify, but would like to help? You can contribute to the Diversity Scholarship!
While MongoDB World registration is open, we're raising funds to support Diversity Scholarship recipients. There’s a donation opportunity when registering for the conference. Contributors will be listed as Diversity Champions on our website, unless otherwise requested.
