for more information.

Linux Australia is committed to diversity of participation in open
technologies and has chosen to support the Diversity Scholarship in line
with their organisational values.

VALA and Linux Australia recognise that regional, rural and indigenous
members of the Library community face additional barriers to participation
in both library and technical events. The Diversity Scholarship is offered
to individuals who in normal circumstances would not generally attend this
type of event or would struggle to attend due to financial or other
hardship.

*Who is eligible?*

   - Any Australian person of Indigenous heritage; and/or
   - Any Australian person who resides in a regional, rural or remote
   location, including Darwin.

*Scholarship Offer:*

   - Up to $2,000 for flights and accommodation to attend VALA Tech Camp
   2017, Melbourne, 12-14 July 2017
   - Free VALA Tech Camp 2017 ticket
   - Complimentary VALA personal membership (to 31 March 2018)
   - VALA buddy at Tech Camp

*How to apply:*

Applicants will submit a 200 word statement OR a 3 minute Youtube video
explaining the impact the Scholarship will have on your future career in
the library and/or technology sector, including:

   - why you want to come,
   - what you want to learn,
   - how the community/organisation you serve will benefit from your
   attendance.

*Please share news of this scholarship within your own networks across
Australia. *

Applications will close *5 June 2017*.
