 **DjangoCon Europe 2024 offers grants so that those who might otherwise not be able to attend won't hesitate to participate.** Some expenses for the conference attendance (which could include travel, hotel, registration, etc) will be covered for opportunity grant recipients.

 We try to do this in a number of ways:
 
-* Conferences are a meeting place for developers from all around the globe. Therefore, the selection process is designed to benefit people that we believe will make a difference, particularly speakers and tutorial presenters.
-* Additionally, the selection process attempts to promote a more diverse DjangoCon Europe. While encouraging diversity takes many forms, we're happy to use the opportunity grant program as a very direct method of supporting diversity within the Python community. In particular, our grant program prioritizes those who belong to under-represented or marginalized groups in our industry, as attending our event is likely to be more difficult and financially onerous for them.
-* When prioritizing grant applications, we try to get a feel for how much impact this grant will have on the applicant and the wider community and country, compared to others. In this, we consider things like involvement in a local community, social impact of the applicant's activities, and how accessible other conferences are to them.

 Lastly, we know that some of you reading this will doubt whether it's right and proper for you to apply for a grant. That's why we want to stress:
 
-* Have you already attended a conference in the past? That's OK.
-* Already received a grant in the past? Still OK.
-* Don't have much experience with Django? That's OK, too.
-* Don't want to take money away from someone else? Really, it's OK, everyone says that!
-* Don't feel like you deserve this? That's also OK: you do.

 With our limited funds, we can't promise you will receive a grant, but if you're not sure, **we encourage you to apply**. If you're uncomfortable with other people knowing you received a grant, you don't have to tell them - our policy is to never publicly identify grant applicants or recipients without their explicit permission.
 
 If you have questions, you can write to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
