Dear all
Wikimania 2018 is being held in Cape Town, South Africa from 18th to 22nd
July. Scholarships are available from the Foundation, with a closing date
of 22nd January 2018.
Applicants will be able to apply for a partial or full scholarship. A full
scholarship will cover the cost of an individual's round-trip travel,
shared accommodation, and conference registration fees as arranged by the
Wikimedia Foundation. A partial scholarship will cover conference
registration fees and shared accommodation.
Applicants will be rated using a pre-determined selection process and
selection criteria established by the Scholarship Committee and the
Wikimedia Foundation, who will determine which applications are successful.

If you have any questions, please contact: wikimania-scholarships@
wikimedia.org or leave a message at:

The location for Wikimania 2018 makes scholarships rather prohibitive for
Wikimedia UK, so I would encourage you to apply through the Foundation's
scholarship process!
All best
Lucy
