Clojure/West Opportunity Grants

You or someone you know may be perfect for one of these grants. Apply now! They may literally pay your way.

On the flip side, now would be a good time to talk to people at your company to get the company to sponsor the grant. The money goes directly to someone in need to help them get to the conference. Great for karma! Email the kind folks at events@cognitect.com for help.
