    Subject: 2024 Code4Lib Diversity Scholarships - Call for Applications

    As part of Code4Lib's ongoing commitment to reducing economic barriers and
    ensuring balanced representation from underrepresented groups, we are
    pleased to announce that we are now seeking applicants for our 2024
    Diversity Scholarship program
    <https://2024.code4lib.org/general-info/scholarships>. The Code4Lib
    Scholarship Committee seeks to award several Diversity Scholarships based
    on merit and need. Domestic applicants (in the United States and Canada)
    can receive up to $1,500 USD, while international applicants can be awarded
    up to $3,000 USD. These funds are intended to cover travel expenses, hotel
    accommodations, and conference fees for the 2024 Code4Lib Conference in Ann
    Arbor, MI. The deadline for applications is Friday February 9th , 2024,
    11:59 PM PST.

    Scholarship recipients will have their conference registration and hotel
    accommodations covered upfront. Other incidentals, like local
    transportation and meals, will  be reimbursed up to the  awarded amount.
    Reimbursements will be processed at the conference. Additionally, there is
    an option to share accommodations with fellow scholarship awardees or other
    conference attendees. For inquiries about these arrangements, please
    contact code4lib-scholarships@googlegroups.com. Our goal is to ensure that
    financial concerns do not discourage anyone from applying.

    We do not expect scholarship recipients to be responsible for being an
    ambassador for their group or an educator of others during the conference.
    While learning and exchange may happen as a result of interactions between
    participants, scholarship recipients are encouraged to focus on getting the
    most out of their experience and have no special duties or obligations
    apart from conference attendance, engaged participation to their comfort
    level, and giving us feedback on their experience.

    About Code4Lib

    Code4Lib <https://code4lib.org> seeks to maintain a vibrant and diverse
    community of technology-minded folks. We are developers and technologists
    for libraries, museums, and archives who have a strong commitment to open
    technologies. Code4Lib began as a simple mailing list
    <https://wiki.code4lib.org/MailingList> in 2003 and held its first
    face-to-face meeting in 2005 in Chicago. The first official annual
    conference was held in 2006 in Corvallis, Oregon. Nowadays, the Code4Lib
    community gravitates around the same listserv, an annual conference with
    hundreds of attendees, as well as IRC and Slack channels
    <https://code4lib.org/irc/> that are open for anyone to join. We are
    dedicated to being a diverse and inclusive community of technologists
    seeking to share ideas and build collaboration. You can read our Code of
    Conduct here

    Code4Lib 2024 Conference Registration Details

    Conference registration spots and hotel rooms are being held for
    scholarship recipients. If your attendance is dependent upon receiving a
    scholarship, you do not need to register for the conference or book a hotel
    room when registration opens. Code4Lib will facilitate both your
    registration and hotel arrangements. Should you choose to handle your own
    conference registration and/or hotel booking, these costs, along with other
    expenses as detailed in the call for applicants, will be reimbursed within
    the parameters of the award. Reimbursement for these expenses will be
    provided to scholarship recipients at the conference.
    Made Possible by Sponsors

    Currently, a total of 10 scholarships are available. We would like to thank
    our sponsors for their support of the Code4Lib 2024 Diversity Scholarships.
