Introducing our Scholarship Program!

Scholarships

We at JSConf Korea believe diverse perspectives are essential to the kind of thriving JavaScript community that we all want. That's why, for JSConf Korea 2019, we're introducing the Scholarship Program for underrepresented groups in the South Korean tech industry.


Our Scholarship Program is made possible by amazing individuals who purchased our Scholarship Support tickets. For questions about our Scholarship funds, contact us at scholarships@jsconfkorea.com.

Who can apply?

If you’ve been interested in JavaScript or related technology, if you’ve been curious to participate in JavaScript communities or events in Korea, but for social or economic reasons couldn’t or didn't feel comfortable to attend, we'd like you to apply. We especially welcome members of underrepresented groups in the South Korean tech industry, including women, LGBTQI+, people with disabilities, people living outside of the Seoul Metropolitan Area, and people facing social or economic hardships.


This year, the Scholarship Program only supports those living/staying in South Korea.

What’s in the Scholarship?

If selected, you will receive:

  • A ticket to the conference (which includes lunch)
  • Your travel expenses covered, within South Korea
  • One night of stay before the conference, if coming from outside the Seoul Metropolitan Area

Selection Criteria and Process

We’re prioritizing individuals from underrepresented groups in the South Korean tech industry and individuals who are expected to benefit the most from attending JSConf Korea 2019.


The selection committee will consist of JSConf Korea’s organizers.


In the first round of the selection process, all applications are anonymized and prioritized solely based on the answers to “Why do you want to attend JSConf Korea 2019?”. In the second round, the prioritization is adjusted based on our selection criteria and scholarship funds.
