Utaratibu

The Scholarships Review Committee rates scholarships applicants based on a standardized set of criteria. The anticipated timeline for the scholarship program is as follows:

  • January 16 – February 16, 2012 – Scholarship application open
  • January – early March, 2012 – Scholarship committee reviews applications
  • End of March early April – Applicants are notified about final decisions

The WMF Scholarships will be roughly allocated across the regions of the world in the following manner:

Africa 10%
Asia & Pacific 30%
CIS 10%
Europe 10%
MENA 10%
North America 10%
South/Latin America 20%
Regions as defined by International Telecommunications Union (ITU)

The same Selection Criteria (see below) will be used in rating all scholarship applications, but the applications will be compared against the applicants within the region. The Scholarship Committee reserves the right to deviate from these benchmarks, pending lack of qualified applicants.

Aina za Udhamini

Both partial and full scholarships will be available for Wikimania 2012.

  • Full scholarships will award round trip travel, dorms accommodations, and registration
  • Partial Scholarships: an award of 300 euros for travel expenses to Wikimania.

The same selection criteria will be used for both types of recipients. On the scholarship application, please indicate your willingness to accept a partial scholarship. As we are not screening applications for financial ability, we are assuming that all who check partial scholarship would be willing to take the partial scholarship to provide those with less resources the opportunity to attend Wikimania.
