[Nicolas Prigent]

Thanks to the generous donations of our sponsors, we are delighted to announce that we will be offering several VizSec 2018 Diversity Scholarship awards to help cover the costs of attending VizSec. This scholarship award covers full week registration plus a small stipend to help offset travel costs.

All VizSec attendees may apply for the diversity scholarships except for those from a country on the OFAC sanctions list at:

It should be no more than 2 pages (letter size) with at least 1 inch margins and 11pt or larger font.

Applications will also be asked to answer the following questions:
