Academic Bursaries
Posted by Addy Pope on April 30, 2013
Just opening this up for extra eyes to provide some feedback. I have created a sub-page on the main site (not published yet) which details the conditions and application process for the academic bursaries. The idea is that all the info is on this page and there is a link to Survey Monkey which will have a handful of questions and a CV upload box. Have we missed anything?

1 question - is 20th May too short a deadline? Why not give them until mid or end June?
Suchith Anand on May 1, 2013:
Addy, please update this and i think it is then ready to publish.

Claire has now added the survey monkey url for Academic Bursaries at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FOSS4GAcademicBursary
Could i request Jo, Barry to add this url to the Academic Bursaries preview page that Addy put at http://2013.foss4g.org/?page_id=1116&preview=true ( i cannot see the preview page link as not logged in ) and do final check and then make it public.
I will then start promoting the Bursary info in all key mail lists. Thanks.

Jo - can you make it appear in the registration drop down, i dont seem to be able to work out how to do it and don't want to break something
Jo Cook on May 7, 2013:
Sure thing :-) One question- where will they submit a blog post to?
