Although SFSFC will not be offering a scholarship to attend SMOFCon 28 in San José, the Texas-based convention-running group ALAMO announced yesterday that they will offer one. ALAMO will offer a $300 scholarship to be used toward the cost of attending SMOFCon 28. See their SMOFCon Scholarship Application for further details.

No SFSFC SMOFCon Scholarship This Year
SFSFC originally created its SMOFCon Scholarship Program to send promising Bay Area conrunners to the annual SMOFCon convention-runners conference, and while we have occasionally made awards to people outside of the San Francisco Bay Area, the scholarship has generally retained a Bay Area focus. Because this year’s SMOFCon is in San José (December 3-5, 2010 at the Sainte Claire Hotel), making it substantially easier for Bay Area fans with an interest in convention-running to attend, we have decided to not present a SMOFCon Scholarship in 2010.
We will revisit the SMOFCon Scholarship program in 2011.
