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 100 creators.
We’re excited to continue the scholarship program for #FinCon22, and we’re even more excited that the scholarship program is expanded even further this year!
In addition to new Personal Finance content creators, we also extended FC22 scholarships to PF creators who have never attended a FinCon event in person or online.
But wait! There’s more…
We’ve given away as many as 35-50 scholarships a year in the past, but this year we have 138 winners!
We also have a lot of new plans for scholarship winners this year, including their very own Scholarship Concierge who will help them navigate their first FinCon experience so that they don’t miss a thing.
And just like last year, at least 40% of scholarships are dedicated to those who represent or serve marginalized communities.
Special thanks to Money Under 30 and Investor Junkie for each sponsoring 5 scholarships.
Who was eligible?
Personal Finance bloggers, podcasters, YouTubers, advisors, freelancers, and influencers who are new to the space and who have never attended an in-person or virtual FinCon event before.
The #FinCon22 scholarship applications closed on May 22, 2022.

Thanks for so much for the opportunity, Philip! I am honored to be chosen as one of the scholarship awardees and I am so excited to be attending #FinCon16!

[…] 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!
-Andrew
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!
-Eric

You and me both brother!

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 💛
