Whether by organizing meetups, making maps, adding data, writing code or documentation, or something else, we’re interested in hearing your story. No matter where you live, what your interests, or how long you have been involved: we welcome your application!
What type of scholarships are we offering?
Scholarship recipients will receive (1) a complimentary ticket to State of the Map US, (2) up to three nights of accomodation at a nearby hotel, and (3) have up to $500 in travel expenses reimbursed.
Who is Eligible?
The travel grants are available to anyone, but their purpose is to help those attend who would not have otherwise been able to. We encourage and welcome diversity in the OpenStreetMap community.
