The Ethereum Foundation (EF) aims to enable the Ethereum ecosystem to flourish, and numerous revelations remain to be uncovered regarding what Ethereum can offer to the globe. This is the reason we endorse individuals who possess the capability to reveal segments of Ethereum’s narrative that have yet to be documented.<\/p>\n

The Devcon Scholars Program<\/a> extended assistance to facilitate greater accessibility to Devcon for 50 individuals we believed could positively influence Ethereum and its community, yet faced barriers to attendance due to financial constraints.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We selected participants whose involvement would enhance Devcon and the ecosystem. Scholars were identified based on their prior experiences and their aspirations for contributing to Ethereum.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Participants received programming and resources designed to ready them for Devcon, including \u201cLearning Sessions\u201d with prominent figures in the Ethereum community. During Devcon, Scholars crafted their own journeys by opting for the talks and events they wished to partake in, some of which you can discover more about below.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n From the cohort, 50% hailed from Latin America. Moreover, 70% of Scholars participated in the ETHBogota hackathon, with many securing awards.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Get acquainted with five of the Devcon Scholars and explore their experiences!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Yasmin serves as an economist within Peru\u2019s Ministry of Education.
