Wikimania 2012 Scholarships Program

 
Washington, DC view


Wikimania 2012, the 8th annual international conference, is being held on July 12–15, 2012. The conference is at George Washington University in Washington D.C., United States. The Wikimedia Foundation and several chapters (Wikimedia Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Switzerland, UK) are offering a limited number of scholarships to offset the cost of select individuals' attendance at Wikimania.

Both full and partial scholarships are available for Wikimania 2012:

  • Full scholarships will award round trip travel, dorms accommodations, and registration.
  • Partial scholarships will subsidize up to €300 of travel expenses.

Στόχοι του προγράμματος

  • Για να κάνετε Wikimania 2012 μια επιτυχημένη και παραγωγική διεθνές συνέδριο.
  • Για την υποστήριξη των εγχειρημάτων του Wikimedia με την ενθάρρυνση της συμμετοχής.
  • Για να εμπλουτίσουμε το συνέδριο με την παρουσία του μια διαφορετική ομάδα των συμμετεχόντων στο κίνημα του Wikimedia.

Eligibility (who can apply for a scholarship): Any active contributor to a Wikimedia project and/or Wikimedia volunteer in any other capacity, from anywhere in the world, is considered eligible. Participants in other free knowledge, free software, collaborative and/or educational initiatives are also encouraged to apply.

Selection: All applications for scholarship are reviewed by the Scholarship review committee. Criteria for selecting Scholarship recipients were determined by the Scholarships Review Committee in accordance with the goals and focus areas of Wikimania and Wikimedia. See “Scholarship Selection" below for more detail on selection criteria and process.

Deadline for submission: The scholarship application deadline was February 16, 2012, at 23:59:59 UTC. We will notify applicants in mid or late-March early April about the results of their application.

For more information about the Wikimania 2012 Scholarships Program, please visit the FAQ page.

Process

The Scholarships Review Committee rates scholarships applicants based on a standardized set of criteria. The anticipated timeline for the scholarship program is as follows:

  • January 16 – February 16, 2012 – Scholarship application open
  • January – early March, 2012 – Scholarship committee reviews applications
  • End of March early April – Applicants are notified about final decisions

The WMF Scholarships will be roughly allocated across the regions of the world in the following manner:

Africa 10%
Asia & Pacific 30%
CIS 10%
Europe 10%
MENA 10%
North America 10%
South/Latin America 20%
Regions as defined by International Telecommunications Union (ITU)

The same Selection Criteria (see below) will be used in rating all scholarship applications, but the applications will be compared against the applicants within the region. The Scholarship Committee reserves the right to deviate from these benchmarks, pending lack of qualified applicants.

Types of scholarships

Both partial and full scholarships will be available for Wikimania 2012.

  • Full scholarships will award round trip travel, dorms accommodations, and registration
  • Partial Scholarships: an award of 300 euros for travel expenses to Wikimania.

The same selection criteria will be used for both types of recipients. On the scholarship application, please indicate your willingness to accept a partial scholarship. As we are not screening applications for financial ability, we are assuming that all who check partial scholarship would be willing to take the partial scholarship to provide those with less resources the opportunity to attend Wikimania.
