Hello,
Hope this email will find you well. The preparation of Wikimania is going
on, and we hope to see enthusiastic participation from India this year as
well.
You know that in addition to the main Wikimania scholarship, there has been
a practice to offer scholarship to Indic Wikimedians. As per the earlier
practice, WMIN and CIS-A2K is offering full scholarships which includes:
- The cost of an individual's round-trip travel as arranged by CIS-A2K
- Shared accommodation for up to 6 nights as arranged by CIS-A2K
- Conference registration fee. Note that some meals during the
conference are covered by the conference registration fee, such as lunches
and receptions
- The cost of obtaining a visa (Visa Fees)
The participants are selected based on the decision of Wikimania
Scholarship Committee 2018 and were next in line as per their analysis to
receive full scholarship. Note: WMIN or CIS didn't make these selection.
Following is the suggestion list of Wikimania committee, the Wikimedians
who have been selected are:
- User:Jayantanth
- User:Shyamal
- User:Aliva Sahoo
We congratulate them for the selection, and hope for a smooth visa process
ahead. :)
We are unable to support partial scholarship for budgetary constraint.
Thanks
Tito Dutta
