Ask HN: Funding for attending Google Mentor Summit

Hello, I'm a gsocer and I've been selected to attend the 10th Google Mentor Summit in California this October. However, being a lottery winner, I have to arrange transportation, lodgings and all by myself. The finances for attending this event have to be paid by me. I want to know whether there are some funding programs for this, which could ease my expenses a bit. I'd appreciate any help :)

Thanks again
