Dear Affiliates,

I am following up on the earlier email, this time with concrete information for the Scholarship Program of Wikimania 2021.

As stated before, funding will be made available to all Wikimedia affiliates this year. The rationale behind this approach is to maximize the number of scholarships that can be awarded, by empowering our affiliates to distribute the funds to their communities accordingly.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING?

Wikimania 2021 scholarship applicants must be Wikimedia movement affiliates. Contrary to an in-person event, individuals and other organizations are not eligible.

WHAT IS ELIGIBLE?

-

Childcare services (or similar family services) to support Wikimania participation -

Data packages to distribute to Wikimania participants -

Administrative or operational costs for to distribute funds to community members, such as transfer fees -

Small hardware expenses to support access (such as webcams, microphones, head/earphones) Note: Requests for computers, laptops, tablets, and other personal devices are not eligible. -

Video production support for pre-recorded Wikimania sessions (such as equipment or space) -

In-person meetups that coincide with Wikimania activities (food, beverage, meeting space) -

Post-Wikimania meetups resulting from having attended Wikimania (food, beverage, meeting space)
