Sounds as if you did not apply for a travel scholarship. Consider that in
future years. Although the acknowledged bias is towards members of
typically underrepresented communities, needing support to be able to
present an accepted talk is also factored in. This year's call said:
"Our goal is to ensure a welcoming, inclusive, community-focused State of
the Map US, and scholarships are one way we're working to accomplish that
goal. We're offering four levels of financial support - a free ticket to
the conference, $500, $1,000, or $1,500 - depending on your self-identified
need and whether you are traveling within the United States or
internationally.
If you’re contributing to the OpenStreetMap community in an interesting way
– whether that’s by organizing meetups, making maps, adding data, writing
code or documentation, or something else – and financial help will make the
difference in whether you can come to State of the Map US, we urge you to
apply! No matter where you live, we welcome your application."
