For the fourth time, we are running our Scholarship Program, which provides individuals from underrepresented groups with support to attend JSConf EU and CSSconf EU.
We are very grateful and would like to say a big Thank You to the companies and individuals who donate to our Scholarship Program. In 2018, we were able to give away 80 tickets and we hope to be able to invite even more people in 2019.
Anyone from an underrepresented group in tech is invited to apply for a scholarship. We especially invite and welcome Black, Indigenous & People of Color, QTIBlPoC/LGBTQIA+ people, people with disabilities, and people facing economic or social hardships.
If you’ve always wanted to visit JSConf and/or CSSconf EU, but haven’t had the money or resources to, this is your chance! The Scholarship Program was made for you.
❤️ Granting these scholarships is made possible thanks to the wonderful people that buy Diversity Support Tickets, as well as the generous contributions made by our sponsors. More help is needed – talk to us if you’d like to get involved: contact@jsconf.eu .
VOTING PROCESS
Voting happens within a jury of four:
Olivia Hugger
Princiya Sequeira
Simone Haas
Thuy Le
Here’s how we select scholarship recipients:
Anonymize submissions, so we don’t bias against anything related to the submitter
There are two rounds of voting for each form:
In the first round, we each review every submission and rate them from 0 to 3
In the second round, we compare our votes and factor in budget and location
Finally, we de-anonymize submissions and create a list of people who have been accepted within our budget, and a waiting list in case a scholarship recipient can’t make it or our budget increases
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I’m not a member of an underrepresented group, can I apply?
We will likely not consider you in our selection process.
What does the scholarship entail?
If you get selected for a scholarship, you will receive a full ticket to JSConf EU and CSSconf EU. Additionally, we will pay for your flights/transport and/or accommodation.
Can I apply for a scholarship again if I got one last year?
We will not consider anyone who received a scholarship for JSConf EU/CSSconf EU in 2018, for the sake of fairness.
How long are applications open for?
This depends on whether you need a visa to enter Germany . We have two separate application timelines for people who need a visa and people who do not need a visa (i.e. Schengen area residents). The timelines are as follows:
If you need a visa : From 15th of November, 2018 until 30th of January, 2019.
If you do not need a Visa : From 15th of November, 2018 until 10th of March, 2019.
Why are only applicants without a visa and travel being charged 20 EUR per day?
This is a good and valid question. In the past we unfortunately experienced a small number of „Just a ticket” scholarship holders that neither informed us beforehand nor showed up at the conference. Therefore we had tickets left which we were not able to give to another scholarship applicant from the waiting list. That’s why we decided to take a small fee per conference day, just to make sure that people who are not able to attend inform us in time. The fee is refunded once you attend the conference or inform us on time if you can not make it at all.
Applicants who need a visa and travel are not among this group since we are in contact with them in the time before the conference, in order to book travel and hotel.

STEM fields across the country suffer from a lack of inclusion. The graduate students in our departments (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Entomology, and the School of Integrative Plant Science) are seeking to change this by hosting a preview event for underrepresented students. In reaching out to those who have historically been ignored by our fields, we hope to make our scientific communities better reflections of our society and ourselves.
This year, we are proud to host our third annual Diversity and Inclusion Preview Weekend in the spring of 2019. This preview weekend is intended to introduce attendees to our research programs the year before they apply to graduate school. This event is separate from our departmental applications for admission (if you plan to apply to graduate school at Cornell this year, click here ).
If you identify as an underrepresented minority student (Black/African American, Latina/o or Hispanic, Native American, Pacific Islander, or first generation college student), or you inhabit another axis of minority status (e.g. LGBTQIA, disabled persons, low income), this event is for you.
Application Deadline: December 1, 2018, 11:59 pm EST Preview Weekend Dates: March 7-10, 2019
We will cover up to $600 in travel expenses for participants, as well as housing and meals during the weekend.

Fundstack is on a mission to become the world's best CRM and workflow tool for financial services companies — from deal sourcing and workflow to network and processes management. Leading investment firms across Europe, the USA and Asia use Fundstack every day to make smarter investment decisions and manage vast amounts of data. We have raised a funding round from some of the best investors in the UK. For example, Passion Capital was our lead investors who also was the lead investor for Monzo Bank. We have a product that sells well and we are growing quickly. To scale things up, we are looking for an Operations Graduate. As an Operations Graduate you will help us on-boarding clients and migrating their data from their old system into Fundstack. This role is part customer-facing when it comes to engaging with clients and part back office when you do the actual data migration. There is no specific technical knowledge required for the data migration, though good Excel skills are a must. Your everyday activities will consist of holding conversations with customers around migrating their data, modifying customer data in Excel and then uploading it into the Fundstack system using our internal migration tooling. There may be adjacent areas within Fundstack where you will also help out: be it in general customer support, playing your small part in bigger sales conversations or other small things. It’s a small company so we want you to chip in where needed and assume ownership of your own area. As an early member of a fast growing team you will have the chance to make a big impact on the development of the company. The company structure is very flat and we value being challenged. We’re striving to create a stimulating but respectful culture. You will be:
Talking directly with our customers: helping new customers to quickly get started with migrating their data.
Learning what different data systems customers are using and how to improve our processes to speed up migrations.
Modifying customer data in Excel and other tools.
Use backend tools from Fundstack to upload data and check that correct data has been migrated.
Working closely with the rest of the team in adjacent areas when needed (e.g. forming part of a bigger sales team when we talk to big customers, helping out in customer support)
Requirements:
You should apply if:
You're great at thinking in a structured way
You have a decent knowledge in Excel and enjoy working in it
You are a fast learner - every day is different!
You are good at explaining things to people
You can point to past experiences that prove you are a top performer (be it in university, sports, volunteering or internships)
What you will get:
Be part of the journey of one of the hottest early stage startups in London
Learn a lot! You will work with an experienced, highly selective team operating in a super fast paced environment
Opportunities for rapid career advancement
Fair compensation
Stock options
Bonus points (but not required):
If you have a technical, business or science degree
You have read this far and are interested? If you are interested and want to show that you read this page attentively then tell us in your application message (i) why you would be a great fit for the role and (ii) what interests you about the Fundstack product.
