Announcing HashiCorp Diversity Scholarship Program

The HashiCorp community is a mixture of a variety of people that include professionals, volunteers, students, and employees who collaborate to make HashiCorp tools better every day. We prioritize inclusion in these communities and constantly find ways to engage with them in every way possible. Last year, HashiCorp gave away a number of conference passes to the various organizations to join us for HashiConf, our flagship user conference. This year we are excited to build on that contribution and introduce HashiCorp Diversity Scholarship Program. The intent is to assist members of our community who are from underrepresented groups in the technology and open source communities with these scholarships— to cover the costs associated with HashiConf or HashiDays conferences.

»Scholarship Categories

The scholarship categories are broken down based on three type of attendees. The categories are as follows:

  • Local Attendee - The person applying lives in the city where the conference will be hosted. They will be eligible for getting a free conference pass.
  • Regional Attendee - The person applying lives in the same country where the conference will be hosted. They will be eligible for a conference pass, hotel, and regional transit (train, bus or airplane).
  • Remote Attendee - The person applying lives in a different country from where the conference will be hosted. The person will be eligible for a conference pass, hotel, and domestic/international transit (airplane).
