Boost Scholarship Fund

The Boost Scholarship Fund supports two programs that directly benefit C++ students and indirectly benefit the entire C++ community: Boost Summer of Code and the C++Now Student/Volunteer Program.

Boost Summer of Code

The BSoC program is modeled after the Google Summer of Code program, in which Boost is a long time participant. Like GSoC, BSoC projects provide funding for students to work on specific Boost Library projects over the summer. BSoC is designed to supplement the GSoC program by allowing Boost to accept students that would otherwise be rejected by GSoC due to limited funding or eligibility.

C++Now Student/Volunteer Program

Each year, the conference gives financial support to a small group of young programmers covering expenses to attend the conference. In exchange, the volunteers help the C++Now staff in running the conference.

Contributions to the Boost Scholarship Fund are earmarked* to support these programs and can be made in any amount, but specific benefits attach at certain sponsorship levels. Donations are made to the Boost Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity and are fully tax-deductable to the extent permitted by law. Credit card transactions are made through our partner Krueger Event Management, which manages the C++Now event. Donors will receive a disclosure statement indicating the fair market value of any tangible benefits received.

Are you a student who will volunteer in exchange for a ticket? Not a student, just want to volunteer?
