PowerUp Scholarship Application

PowerUp is committed to bringing together people who are passionate about scaling up people-power in this country. Part of that commitment is recognising that not everyone who should be at PowerUp is able to attend.

As a Sydney-based conference, we recognise that the cost of a ticket, accommodation and travel can be especially prohibitive for interstate folk. We also acknowledge that the rising cost of living has put a strain on many households.

For that reason, PowerUp has put aside a limited scholarship fund to help those without the means. So, if you're passionate about attending PowerUp but need some help, please fill out this confidential application.

Applications will be responded to on a rolling basis every month. If you've landed on this page because you're interested in donating towards the scholarship fund, please click here.
