The deadline for submissions is May 11, 2018.

There are two types of scholarships available: tuition and travel. Each is
for a fixed amount and is intended to cover a portion of the anticipated
costs. Our goal is to provide some support to as many applicants as
possible given the total funding available for distribution. Except in
cases of particular hardship, we do not have funding available in addition
to these fixed scholarships.

Available Scholarships

   1. Tuition Scholarship - Full complimentary tuition
   2. Travel Scholarships ($850 for US/Canada and $1,200 outside US/Canada)

Following the FSCI, scholarship recipients agree to write a blog about
their experience and complete a survey to provide feedback.

Scholarships have been provided with funding from The SSHRC Future Commons
Partnership and University of Virginia Data Institute.  A funding
application has been also been submitted to the National Science Foundation
and we are awaiting their approval.  See Donor List.

ABOUT FSCI

The FORCE11 Scholarly Communications Institute at the University of
California, San Diego is a week long summer training course, incorporating
intensive coursework, seminar participation, group activities, lectures and
hands-on training. Participants will attend courses taught by world-wide
leading experts in scholarly communications. Participants will also have
the opportunity  to discuss the latest trends and gain expertise in new
technologies in research flow, new forms of publication, new standards and
expectations, and new ways of measuring and demonstrating success that are
transforming science and scholarship.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

FSCI is intended for anybody who is interested in the developing new world
of Scholarly Communication: researchers, librarians, publishers, university
and research administration, funders, students, and post docs. There are
courses for those who know very little about the current trends and
technologies, as well as courses for those who are interested in more
advanced topics. Our courses cover Scholarly Communication from a variety
of disciplinary and regional and national perspectives. We have courses
that will be of interest to the scientist, the social scientist, and the
Humanities researcher. There are courses for those who manage, organise,
and publish research as well as for the researchers themselves and
end-users.
