Although the acknowledged bias is towards members of typically underrepresented communities, needing support to be able to present an accepted talk is also factored in. This year's call said: "Our goal is to ensure a welcoming, inclusive, community-focused State of the Map US, and scholarships are one way we're working to accomplish that goal. We're offering four levels of financial support - a free ticket to the conference, $500, $1,000, or $1,500 - depending on your self-identified need and whether you are traveling within the United States or internationally. If you’re contributing to the OpenStreetMap community in an interesting way – whether that’s by organizing meetups, making maps, adding data, writing code or documentation, or something else – and financial help will make the difference in whether you can come to State of the Map US, we urge you to apply! No matter where you live, we welcome your application." Eric
