Two Programs
Support to Attend
RISC-V offers two separate programs to help people attend who could not otherwise: a Registration Scholarship covering the cost of a pass, and the Travel Fund, which reimburses travel costs. They are applied for separately.
Applications for RISC-V Summit North America 2027 are not yet open. Deadlines and application links will be published on this page.
If you need travel funding in order to attend, apply to the Travel Fund first and wait for confirmation that your request has been approved before submitting a Registration Scholarship application.
Complimentary Registration
Registration Scholarships
RISC-V Registration Scholarship program exists to support individuals who may not otherwise have the opportunity to attend RISC-V events, in two categories:
Applicants must be from a traditionally underrepresented and/or marginalized group in the technology and/or open source/open standard communities who are unable to attend without some financial assistance. Including, but not limited to: persons identifying as LGBTQIA+, women, persons of color, and/or persons with disabilities.
Individuals who apply should be active members of the open source/open standard community who are unable to attend for financial reasons and are unable to get funding from their companies.
Registration Scholarship recipients will receive a complimentary registration pass. Registration Scholarships are awarded based on a combination of need and impact. Selection will be made by an assembled group of reviewers who will assess each applicant request.
Applicants can be approved for up to 2 (two) Registration Scholarships per calendar year.
Please note: Travel expenses are not covered under this Registration Scholarship. If you require travel funding in order to attend this event, please fill out the Travel Fund Request Form prior to submitting this Registration Scholarship application. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide Travel Funding for all requests received, so please wait for confirmation that your request has been approved before completing the Registration Scholarship request.
The RISC-V Travel Fund
Travel Funding
RISC-V Travel Fund is intended to enable open source developers and community members to attend events that they would otherwise be unable to attend due to a lack of funding. We place an emphasis on funding applicants who are from historically underrepresented or untapped groups and/or those of lower socioeconomic status. If you work for a company that has the ability to fund your travel, we ask that you not apply, to save funds for those that need it.
We receive about a thousand requests for funding each year. RISC-V is trying to use funds to assist as many people as possible. As such:
We are often unable to fund one person across multiple events in a year.
Lower cost travel funding requests are more likely to get approved.
We typically do not fund the same person two years in a row.
Decisions are final, and reapplying for the same event after receiving a denial does not increase your chances of getting funded.
Note: If your travel fund application is approved, you will be required to show proof of attendance in order to be reimbursed. Applications are made from your LF Individual Dashboard and require a Linux Foundation account.
