[Wikimedia-l] Wikimania 2023 Scholarships Open: Apply Now!
Hello everyone, Scholarship applications for Wikimania 2023 are now open until Sunday, 5 February! Wikimania 2023 will be held in Singapore from 16–19 August. This year, we aim to be inclusive for Wikimedians worldwide in line with this edition’s theme: “Diversity. Collaboration. Future.” Scholarships for Wikimania 2023 are available in different types for traveling to Singapore: - Full scholarship: travel, accommodation, and registration are provided; - Partial scholarship: accommodation and registration are provided. All scholarship recipients are covered by Wikimedia Foundation Travel Insurance Policy. Whereas scholarship recipients have historically written a report to fulfill scholarship requirements, this year they will have the opportunity to do volunteer tasks during Wikimania. The Committee will work with recipients to find a volunteer role that suits each recipient’s skills and experience. Scholarship recipients opting to volunteer rather than write a report will be asked to volunteer for 2 hours over the course of Wikimania, with the option to volunteer more hours if desired. Apply now! <https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/799477> Make sure to share your experiences during your Wikimedia movement journey and support with links. Newcomers to Wikimedia will be considered. The deadline to apply for a scholarship is 5th February, end of the day anywhere in the world. Applicants will be notified of decisions in May.
