We at JSConf Korea believe diverse perspectives are essential to the kind of thriving JavaScript community that we all want. This is what the JSConf Korea 2022’s Scholarship Program is for. We want you to be able to join us, especially if you are from an underrepresented group in the South Korean tech industry.
If you or your company would like to donate to the Scholarship fund so that more people can have the opportunity to attend JSConf Korea 2022, please contact contact@jsconf.kr.

Who can apply?
You must be living/staying in Korea to be eligible for the scholarship.
If you have been interested in JavaScript or related technology, if you’ve been curious to participate in JavaScript communities or events in Korea, but for social or economic reasons couldn’t or didn't feel comfortable to attend, we'd like you to apply.
We especially welcome members of underrepresented groups in the South Korean tech industry, including women, LGBTQI+, people with disabilities, people living outside of the Seoul Metropolitan Area, and people facing social and economic hardships.
What’s in the Scholarship?
If selected, you will receive:
- A ticket to the conference (which includes two day lunch, live translations, live captions, childcare, etc)
- Your travel expenses covered, within South Korea
- Two nights of stay before the conference, and conference day, if coming from outside the Seoul Metropolitan Area
Selection Criteria and Process
We’re prioritizing individuals from underrepresented groups in the South Korean tech industry and individuals who are expected to benefit the most from attending JSConf Korea 2022.
The selection committee will consist of JSConf Korea’s organizers.
In the first round of the selection process, all applications are anonymized and prioritized solely based on the answers to “Why do you want to attend JSConf Korea 2022?”. In the second round, the prioritization is adjusted based on our selection criteria and scholarship funds.
