Hi, There was a Pyladies email regarding the FA and I was in the middle of writing the application and realised I didnt quite understand what this sentence means. From, https://ep2014.europython.eu/en/registration/financial-assistance/, "Get a standard ticket for free and we will cover the travel and accommodation costs pro rata, depending on what you are applying for."
Sorry about the last minute query but can someone explain what the "pro rata" in this sentence means? AFAIK, a standard dictionary meaning states that the costs are not fully covered, so would it mean that partial grants are given? - a bummer for folks from third world countries like mine. I'm from India and the Rupee-Euro exchange rates make travel and accommodation costs frightfully expensive, so from one volunteer to another, I'd rather not waste another volunteers time by making them read my application and then have to return the prorata/partial funding at the last minute if I am unable to find a sponsor for the remaining difference. Have I misunderstood what pro rata means? Thanks. - Svaksha ॥ http://about.me/svaksha ॥ _______________________________________________ EuroPython 2014 - July 21th-27th in Berlin EuroPython mailing list EuroPython@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython
