Ryan Kopf, the senior organizer of some of the most popular anime conventions in the Midwest, announced the latest programs to support anime fans in the world. The full post is at http://www.ryankopf.com/posts/909-Supporting-Geeks

The announcement made on the Ryan Kopf website lists programs supporting disadvantaged youth, and other geeky organizations. As part of the newly aggregated programs, youth centers and other nonprofit organizations can apply to the conventions directly for free admission on behalf of young people who may not otherwise be able to afford admission.

"I came from a pretty disadvantaged family, and would have loved to have the opportunity to socialize, make friends, and find support in a world filled with bullies," Ryan said in a quote on his website.

Also announced were longstanding school programs that give school groups a chance to register at a discount, including free admission for teachers and other adult chaperones.

Art scholarships are expected to be announced later this year on Ryan's DeviantArt at http://ryankopf.deviantart.com/
