Apply now for the first 2024 Community and Conference Grant

In response to the success and popularity of our inaugural Community and Conference Grant in 2023, The Mac Admins Foundation is pleased to expand the program in 2024, with a range of events.

The Community and Conference Grant intends to broaden the experience of deserving individuals with the intent to foster their development as a new generation of technical professionals.

This inaugural 2024 grant will provide recipients

  • Registration for the MacAD.UK 2024 Conference at the Brighton Metropole, scheduled 23-24 May 2024

  • $2500 (USD) to cover applicable expenses

The Mac Admins Foundation desires that the grant be awarded to those individuals who have financial need, or, may otherwise lack the means or opportunity to attend an event of this type. Therefore, grant program applicants should self identify with one or more of the following criteria:

  • You are early in, or starting, your career in technology

  • You have not previously been able to attend an event or conference of this type

  • You are currently unable to self-fund, or secure institutional funding for event attendance

The Community and Conference Grant does not require formal submission of work or financial credentials. This grant is designed to support individuals who are passionate about advancing their technical skills and knowledge, and who would benefit from the opportunity to connect with experts and leaders in the field. 

To apply for the grant, interested candidates must submit an application that includes responses to several questions related to their experience and goals in the technical field.

Applications will be reviewed by the grant committee, who will evaluate each response based on factors such as relevance, depth, clarity, specificity, and originality.

We encourage all interested individuals to apply for this scholarship and to share this opportunity with others who may be interested. The deadline for applications is 15 March, 2024 and successful applicants will be notified on or about 25 March, 2024.
