Hello everyone,
This is just to let you all know that Wikimedia South Africa is offering a
limited number of full and partial scholarships for people from the Southern
African Customs Union
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_African_Customs_Union> area to
attend Wikimania <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2023:Wikimania> in
Singapore this year. Wikimania will take place from 16-19 August 2023.
The *application period* for this scholarship lasts from *now until the end
of day 1 July 2023* anywhere in the world. We will notify all scholarship
applicants of the status of their application by 15 July 2023, this will
give successful applicants one month to prepare for their trip. Thankfully
all passport holders from the Southern African Customs Union area enjoy
upto 30 days of visa free travel to Singapore.
If you are from South Africa and have already applied for the
scholarship provided by the Wikimedia Foundation (the process which has now
concluded) then you can either choose to do nothing and your old
application for that scholarship will be reconsidered in this application
without you having to do anything; as the Foundation has shared those
applications with us already. Alternatively you can choose to apply again
and the better of the two applications will be chosen. If you missed the
opportunity to apply for the Wikimedia Foundation Scholarship then you now
have the opportunity to apply for this one.
To apply please fill out the form at the link here:
