Q: A grant would help me, but there are people who need it more than I do. Should I submit an application?
A: Yes! Yes you should submit an application. You may not get the full amount you've requested, but we can almost certainly help.
Q: How is the grant allocation determined?
A: We try to maximize the value that every financial aid dollar brings to the recipient, to PyCon Canada, and to the Python community at large.
Q: Should I buy a ticket?
A: No, not yet. Applicants receiving grants will also receive a ticket, and applicants which don't receive a grant will be given the option to purchase a ticket (even if tickets are otherwise sold out).
Q: Can you provide a letter of invitation for my visa application?
A: Yes! Please contact
fa@pycon.ca and tell us what you'll need.
