@loudhum.near [Posted on DevHub](/devgovgigs.near/widget/Post?id=1821) ## Idea: NEARCON Sponsorship Proposal Stipend Greetings, My name is Daniel M, I am currently a student studying computer science and economics at the University of Toronto. I am currently requesting a $1000 travel grant as I will be traveling from Toronto, Canada. As per my application, here is a link to a previous near hackathon. In 2022 at ETHToronto, my team and I won 1st place for the Near Bounty: This was our project called Mel's Meta: https://dorahacks.io/buidl/3244 Here were the results: https://dorahacks.io/hackathon/33/results In addition, here is a link to my personal github: https://github.com/daniel-makarov?tab=repositories And here is a link to my linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-makarov-99583020b/ Please reach out to me via my main developer email as it is the one I register with to hackathons: danielmakarov.dev@gmail.com Here is my university email to prove that I am a student at the University of Toronto: daniel.makarov@mail.utoronto.ca In terms of my travel itinerary, I will be flying via Air Canada, leaving Toronto night at on November 6, and flying into Portugal the morning of November 7 at around 9 am. I will be leaving Portugal on the 10th in the evening, and will be flying back into Toronto on the 11th. The total cost of my round trip is around $1100. I also expect to spend around $250 in hostels during my 3-night stay in Portugal. A stipend of $1000 would greatly help my stay and would allow me to participate in the hackathon. Thank you very much for this opportunity. If you have any questions or need me to provide more information, please do not hesitate to contact me anytime at danielmakarov.dev@gmail.com or linkedin.
