On behalf of the Polkadot Blockchain Academy team I am posting a bounty proposal as outlined in the document shared below;

Some context; up until this point the treasury has funded various educational programs aimed at speeding the adoption of our technology, however, funding has been directed at creating and hosting the programs and has left participants to cover their own costs of attendance/participation. This limits the ability of some talented individuals who happen to live in socio-economically disadvantaged circumstances to participate in such events, which in turn stifles creation and adoption of the Polkadot ecosystem.

- Polkadot Blockchain Academy seeks to increase Polkadot adoption through educational initiatives
- So far, the initiatives have been funded by the treasury, but without covering participants’ costs
- This limits low-income individuals’ access, stifling creation and adoption of Polkadot
- The proposed bounty intends to help solve this issue by removing barriers to participation
  - Covering costs, including travel and accommodation, for outreach events targeting countries with limited access to education in blockchain technologies
  - Offering stipends for instructors and event participants from geographically disadvantaged areas 
  - Providing study grants to underprivileged talented individuals, enabling them to attend online educational events related to Polkadot and Web3 technologies
