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. 

We are proposing an initial bounty of $375k to fund participants of the Polkadot Blockchain Academy, focusing on providing assistance for those who without it, wouldn't be able to attend.

- The Polkadot Blockchain Academy wants to help more people learn about their technology.
- They have been funding educational programs, but participants have to pay their own costs.
- This makes it hard for some people who don't have a lot of money to participate.
- They want to give $375k to help people attend the academy who couldn't afford it otherwise.
- This will help more people learn about and use the Polkadot ecosystem.
