Deadlines

This year, there will be only one call for scholarships.

  • Scholarship application opens: May 1, 2024
  • Scholarship application closes: May 31, 2024

Eligibility

You must live in North America to be eligible for a scholarship. Applications from outside North America will be rejected.

Scholarship types

We offer two types of scholarships:

  • Full scholarship (accommodation and travel cost)
  • Partial scholarship (accommodation or travel cost)

You may also select "I am applying for a full scholarship, but would be able to attend if awarded a partial scholarship."

Evaluation process

You will be asked a number of questions on your contributions to the Wikimedia movement from which your application will be assessed by the scholarship committee.

Scholarship applicants will be notified of their outcome after the scholarship committee evaluates their application. For those that have been successful, we will then be in further contact about booking accommodation and travel arrangement.
