The FinCon scholarship program was created in 2016 to make the event more accessible to new Personal Finance content creators. In the years since we’ve been able to provide scholarships for over 250 creators.
We’re excited to continue the scholarship program this year!
And just like in previous years, at least 40% of scholarships are dedicated to those who represent or serve marginalized communities.
Our team also includes a Scholarship Concierge who helps recipients navigate their first FinCon experience so that they don’t miss a thing.
Who was eligible?
First-year Personal Finance bloggers, podcasters, YouTubers, advisors, freelancers, authors, social media influencers — anyone creating digital content in the Personal Finance space.
You must be a first-year creator who has begun consistently creating Personal Finance content on at least one public platform within the last year.
Plus, you have not been to a FinCon event before (including Women in Money and #FinConx) and are not currently registered for #FinCon23.

[…] I’m away from my desk right now AT FINCON!!! As I mentioned a few weeks ago, since I both won a scholarship to attend for free, and was nominated for a PLUTUS award for Family Finance, I decided I simply […]
I would love to win this and have the chance to meet all the amazing bloggers over in the USA. However, I’ll have to work it into the budget- flights to the USA from New Zealand aren’t exactly the cheapest. Lets see if I can squeeze it in, then I will enter!
Already registered so not eligible but best of luck to the other new bloggers out there!
Here’s to entering! If this girl wins, she might have to do a fundraiser for flight and accommodations LMAO!
Dang, I started my blog last year, lol. Would have LOVED to win this though. I hear PF bloggers rave about FINCON non-stop. Still watching this closely. Goodluck winners!

Crossing my fingers on this one. I’ve already learned more than I ever dreamed I would. Would love to surround myself with like minded individuals!

I just applied! Created my blog and website just a month ago so I’m so new it hurts, but everything I’ve read says that the best time to go to FinCon is 2 years ago, and the second best time is immediately. Thanks for the opportunity.
Thank you so much! I am very excited and amazed to be included.
So excited and grateful for this opportunity! -The Boujie Budgeter 💛

I am humbled, excited and nervous at the same time, but one thing I am sure of is that I AM READY for FinCon23. Thank you so much for the opportunity of a life time all the way from United Republic of Tanzania, East Africa.
