If you are a member of an underrepresented group in data science, consider applying for a scholarship to attend this year's posit::conf() in Atlanta!
We’re thrilled to offer Opportunity Scholarships for posit::conf(2025)!
These aim to support folks typically underrepresented at similar confs.
If you know anyone who'd be a good candidate – perhaps you! – apply by Feb 21: pos.it/opp-scholar-2025
