**
*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.
Apply for a Wikimania 2024 scholarship now!
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2024:Scholarships>Make sure to
share your experiences during your Wikimedia movement 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.

scholarship orientation sessions will be the first of our open call series
entitled *Road to Wikimania 2024*, where we will be providing prospective
scholars and attendees with the information you’ll need for the event.
There will be 3 time options for the scholarship orientation to choose
from. Feel free to click one of them to add it to your Google Calendar
