Please note that since TheWorkshop is a non-sponsored event that needs to pay for itself, scholarships are offered very selectively. We however do have two schemes designed to give our participants more value for their money:

1. 10 participants from an organisation; the 11th participant can participate for free.
2. 5 participants from an organisation; the 6th will get a 50% discount on the fees.
