Hello everyone,

Scholarship applications for Wikimania 2023 are now open until Sunday, 5 February! Wikimania 2023 will be held in Singapore from 16–19 August. This year, we aim to be inclusive for Wikimedians worldwide in line with this edition’s theme: “Diversity. Collaboration. Future.” 

Scholarships for Wikimania 2023 are available in different types for traveling to Singapore:

• Full scholarship: travel, accommodation, and registration are provided;

• Partial scholarship: accommodation and registration are provided.

All scholarship recipients are covered by Wikimedia Foundation Travel Insurance Policy. 

Whereas scholarship recipients have historically written a report to fulfill scholarship requirements, this year they will have the opportunity to do volunteer tasks during Wikimania. The Committee will work with recipients to find a volunteer role that suits each recipient’s skills and experience. Scholarship recipients opting to volunteer rather than write a report will be asked to volunteer for 2 hours over the course of Wikimania, with the option to volunteer more hours if desired. 

Apply now! Make sure to share your experiences during your Wikimedia movement journey and support with links. Newcomers to Wikimedia will be considered. The deadline to apply for a scholarship is 5th February, end of the day anywhere in the world. Applicants will be notified of decisions in May.

The Wikimania 2023 Core Organizing Team
