Do you offer scholarships and how can I apply for one?
Yes, thanks to the generous support of our donors, we're able to offer scholarships for first-time attendees of the ReFED Summit that partially offset the cost of attending. The scholarship application portal will open on September 15.
What happens if I purchase a ticket for the ReFED Summit and can no longer attend?
