TUG 2024 Bursary applications

The TUG Bursary Fund provides assistance for members of the TeX community. If you would like to attend the annual TUG Conference but it would be a financial hardship, then we are able to provide some grants that can help. We encourage you to apply for support to the Bursary fund; see the guidelines below.

You do not need to be a member of TUG to apply for or receive a Bursary grant. Both those who will attend the meeting in person and those who will attend online may apply.

Bursary applications for TUG 2024 should be sent by email to bursary@tug.org no later than May 1, 2024.

Guidelines

In order for the Bursary Committee to judge your application properly, write down as much relevant information as you can. Interesting bits of information include:

Simply put: you should ensure that your application is sufficiently detailed that the Committee can make an informed decision without having to get back to you.

Decisions and fine print

  1. Applications received after the deadline date will be considered only if funds are still available.
  2. All applications will be acknowledged on receipt by electronic mail.
  3. The Committee reserves the right to deny any applications, for any reason.
  4. Applicants will be advised of the success or failure of their applications by electronic mail, which will be sent no later than April 15, 2024, a week after the deadline for the application.
  5. The decision of the Committee is final; the Committee will not enter into further correspondence with unsuccessful applicants.
  6. All applications will be treated in the strictest confidence, and the identity of applicants will be known only to members of the Committee and to the President, Treasurer, and office manager of the TeX Users Group (for the purpose of distributing the awards). If it would be necessary to disclose the identity of an applicant to anyone else, explicit permission of the applicant will be sought beforehand.
  7. The details of individual awards will remain solely the knowledge of the Committee and of the successful applicants. The Committee will submit a summary of all applications and bursaries, without names, to the TUG Board, who may in turn elect to relay this summary information to bursary donors, TeX user groups, or other interested parties. The summary may also be posted on the TUG web site.
