Scholarship applications are closed.
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.

Scholarship recipients that include accommodation will stay at Hampton Inn/Homewood Suites Indianapolis Downtown IUPUI (414 West Vermont St). To afford as many scholarships as possible, we expect scholarship recipients to share a room with two beds with another scholarship recipient. Exceptions could be made on a case-by-case basis.
