scholarship tickets
Our 2026 scholarship application is open now. Apply by December 10.
about our scholarships
We’re committed to making Throughline accessible to as many designers as possible—particularly those who are underrepresented or marginalized in the field, and who could not afford to attend otherwise.
That’s why Active Voice is covering 20 scholarship tickets to Throughline 2026—and the kind folks at Dscout have stepped up to sponsor 10 more!
The 2026 scholarship application is open through December 10. All submissions received by 11:59pm ET on Wednesday, December 10, will be considered. We’ll notify all applicants about their status by January 2.

apply for a scholarship
Our application is simple—we won’t ask you for a sob story or a bank statement. We just ask that you only apply if you can’t afford to attend otherwise.
When you apply, we’ll just ask you to confirm that you have a financial need—and we’ll trust your answer. Here are some examples of what financial need could look like:
You have lost your source of income.
You are currently experiencing financial crisis.
You are paid in a currency/local wage that makes purchasing a conference ticket in US Dollars inaccessible.
You do not have access to employer support or professional development funds, and cannot afford to pay out of pocket.
Help us improve
Diversity and inclusion can’t go out of style here. They’re core to Throughline’s values, and always will be.
