Thank you for your interest in PyCon Uganda. Unfortunately, our financial assistance programme is now closed. Stay tuned for future opportunities!

+

Our Opportunity Grants are now open.

+ + +

+ PyCon Uganda 2025 is offering grants to attendees and speakers, so + that those who might otherwise not be able to attend won’t hesitate to + participate. Some expenses for the conference attendance (which can + include travel, hotel, registration etc.) will be covered for + opportunity grant recipients. We actively encourage people to apply + for an opportunity grant. While we wish we could give grants to + everyone who applies, we do not have the funds to do that. Our goal is + to maximise the impact our grant program has, within the limited funds + we have. +
+
+ We try to do this in a number of ways: +
+

+

+
+
+

Eligibility

+ +

+ Our program prioritises speakers first, and then anyone who is part of + an underrepresented or marginalised group in tech. These groups + include, but are not limited to: +

+ +
+
+

+ We strongly encourage all eligible individuals to apply for our + tickets. +

+
+ + Apply for Opportunity Grants + +
+
+

+ If you are an accepted speaker, and you don’t need a grant because + your employer is funding your conference costs, we can recognise your + employer for this. For now we’re planning to get their logo in the + programme, next to your talk. This is opt-in. With this, we hope to + make it a bit easier for you to convince your employer to contribute + towards your conference costs as a speaker. +

+

+
+
+

+ Lastly, we know that for some people it can be difficult to feel + like it’s okay for you to apply. That’s why we want to make it clear + that: +

+ +
+
+

+ *Submitting your application does not guarantee immediate approval, + as each application will be individually reviewed by the PyCon + Uganda Organizing Team. Applications will be evaluated based on the + information provided in the application form to determine the + applicant's eligibility. +

+
+ +

+ *Privacy: All personal information collected will be kept strictly + confidential. The data collected through this form will be used + exclusively by our financial aid work team for the purpose of + selecting scholarship recipients and processing financial aid. Rest + assured that no data will be shared with third parties. +

+
+
+

+ 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 unless we have your explicit + permission. +

+
+
+ + Apply for Financial Aid + +
