This year, to help make Expo more accessible to early-stage entrepreneurs (for-profit and non-profit), we’re offering 10 full scholarships. The show is May 3 – 6 at Moscone West in SF, and if you receive a scholarship, you can attend any or all days (including the workshops and full-day Intensives on May 3). Of the applications we receive, we’ll award scholarships to those that seem most likely to get a lot out of the event and participate as strong community members.
The application form will remain open until April 15 or until we receive 100 submissions–whichever comes first. We’ll let you know by April 20 whether you’ve been accepted.
Apply today! If you have questions, please leave ‘em in the comments below.

Please keep me notified about travel included scholarships, I’d greatly like to join you, though I’m situated in Europe. Thank you!
Sarah: It’s so great that you folks are offering these scholarships to us early-stage entrepreneurs. Given my early stage, I have a critical financial question. If I were to register right now as a paying customer in order to get the early-bird $400 discount, and then later be fortunate enough to be chosen for the scholarship, would you folks refund the registration fee?
Thanks for the opportunity!
Nice! Is it for US residents only?
No – anyone may apply
Michael,
Yes, we’d refund the reg fee. Thanks!
Awesome chance…Eagerly waiting for 15th April
I kept thinking that the date at which 100 was reached would be posted on the blog. I went to submit my form today and found that the application was closed. Great opportunity; sad to have missed it!
