Travel-bursary scheme:
We want to make sure that no-one is prevented from taking advantage of the opportunity to attend OKCon 2011 for financial reasons so are offering a limited number of travel bursaries. These can be used to either fully or partially cover the cost of travel to and from the conference.
Please note that we can only help a limited number of people with travel bursaries so apply only if your financial situation really does not allow you to join OKCon from your own funds.
You can apply for a travel bursary here.
Applications will be reviewed and answered by 1st June 2011.
For any questions about travel bursaries, please contact daniel.dietrich [at] okfn.org
