Are you passionate about Ethereum and blockchain technology? The Ethereum Foundation has announced the return of the Devcon Scholars Program for Devcon Southeast Asia (SEA), offering a unique opportunity for builders from various backgrounds and disciplines to come together. At Extreme Investor Network, we believe this initiative not only provides scholarships but also fosters a community focused on co-learning and co-creation, bridging Ethereum with other sectors.
The Devcon Scholars Program will run from August through late November, culminating in Devcon in Bangkok, Thailand. Selected scholars will receive financial support tailored to their individual needs, covering accommodation, flights, visa applications, per diem, and Devcon tickets. What sets this program apart is that financial need will not influence the selection process, ensuring inclusivity.
In addition to financial assistance, the program emphasizes building lasting relationships, mentorship, and enhancing existing skills and knowledge. Scholars will engage in pre-Devcon activities, including online sessions to meet, learn together, and prepare for the conference.
Applicants can apply under four categories – Ethereum Community Organizers, Law Students & Legal Professionals, Artists & Sci-fi Writers, and Other Builders. Up to 100 scholars will be selected across these categories, each bringing a unique perspective and expertise to the Ethereum community.
Eligible applicants must be first-time Devcon attendees and willing to dedicate approximately three hours per week over three months to participate in online sessions and complete assignments. The application deadline is July 7th, 2024, at 11:59 PM PST, with a focus on encouraging applications from underrepresented communities within the Ethereum ecosystem.
After the conference, each scholar will submit a Learning Artifact, a creative expression of their learning and experiences, in a medium of their choice, to share and preserve knowledge within the community. This program not only provides an opportunity for individuals to gain in-depth knowledge and build networks but also contributes to the growth of the Ethereum ecosystem.
At Extreme Investor Network, we believe that the Devcon Scholars Program represents a significant opportunity for individuals passionate about Ethereum to contribute to the community’s development. Join us in fostering a diverse and collaborative environment within the blockchain space. Learn more about the program and application details on the Ethereum Foundation’s official blog.
