Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimania 2024 Scholarships Open: Apply Now!
Scholarship applications for Wikimania 2024 are open until December 18! Apply now for a
full or partial scholarship to attend Wikimania in person in Poland!
This year’s theme will be “Collaboration of the Open”--a celebration of the ways we work
together, in the open and for the larger open movement, to bring free knowledge to the
world. We are working on finalizing the venue and dates before the end of the year, but
can confirm that Wikimania will be held in Poland sometime between mid-July and
mid-August.
To ensure that Wikimedians needing visas for Poland have enough time to apply, we are
starting the scholarships process now. Scholarships will be available in two forms:
* Full scholarship: travel, accommodation, and registration are provided;
* Partial scholarship: accommodation and registration are provided.

journey and support with links. Newcomers are encouraged to apply–this year we are aiming
for newer generations of Wikimedians and those who work on connecting the Wikimedia
Movement to the wider open ecosystem of knowledge and culture.
The deadline to apply for a scholarship is December 18, end of the day anywhere in the
world. Applicants will be notified of decisions in the first half of February.
