# Grant Eligibility
EuroPython is the a wonderful place to meet and share your experience for Python developers from Europe and all around the world. Our goal is to support people who want to make the Python community better: conference speakers and tutorial presenters, active people from small Python communities and open source contributors.

Our grants are open to all people in need of financial aid. We will specifically take into account the following criteria in the selection process:

* **Contributors:** potential speakers/trainers of EuroPython (people who submitted a proposal), volunters and all who contribute to EuroPython and/or Python community projects.

* **Economic factors:** we want everybody to have a chance to come to EuroPython, regardless of economic situation or income level.

* **Country based:** as EuroPython 2021 will be distributed and there may be participants joining outside of Europe, we understand not all countries are having the same income levels and cost of living.

* **Diversity:** we aim to be the most diverse and inclusive event possible.
