SMOFCon Scholarship Deadline Approaches

[kevin_standlee]

The deadline for submitting applications for the SFSFC SMOFCon Scholarship is this coming Sunday, September 10. SFSFC is offering up to two $500 scholarships to people to attend this year's SMOFCon, the annual traveling conrunning convention, which this year is December 1-3 in Kansas City MO. You can apply for the scholarship on-line at the SFSFC web site.

I have been putting up reminders about the Smofcon Scholarship over on the Anime Cons Mailing List over the last few weeks. I hope you get good response with Applications for the scholarship.

(Out of interest) where does the money come from? Subs to SFSFC?

Would attending a SMOFcon be useful to a Costume-Con chair? Could he learn things that would be useful, or is mainly focussed on WorldCon issues?

I enjoyed the one SMOFcon I attended, and would like to go again some year, but PTO and budget are both issues this year. Can't apply for this scholarship in good faith, since I've never actually worked a Bay Area convention, and have no plans to change that, at the moment.
