Scholarships

Beidh an Chomhdháil Celtic Knot i mbliana ar siúl go pearsanta in Éirinn. Ós rud é go bhfuil an ócáid seo dírithe ar theangacha na Ceilte san Eoraip, táimid dírithe ar thacú le freastal pearsanta do dhaoine atá ina gcónaí i dtíortha Eorpacha, ach cuirfimid tacaíocht ar fáil freisin do dhaoine atá ag iarraidh ábhar na comhdhála a fheiceáil ó shin.

Tá dhá chineál scoláireachtaí á dtairiscint againn:

  • Scoláireachtaí pearsanta a chlúdaíonn táille iontrála na comhdhála, taisteal, lóistín, agus costais a bhaineann le béilí d'fhaighteoirí ar feadh ré na comhdhála.
  • Scoláireachtaí digiteacha do dhaoine atá ag freastal go cianda, i bhfoirm pacáistí sonraí eSIM a chuirfear ar fáil roimh an gcomhdháil.

Is é an spriocdháta d'iarratais ná 30 Meitheamh ag 23:59 UTC agus beidh sé mar aidhm againn iarratasóirí a chur ar an eolas faoi thoradh a n-iarratais faoi dheireadh mhí Iúil.

Tuilleadh eolais

Déanfaidh an Wikimedia Community Ireland próiseáil ar na scoláireachtaí digiteacha. Déanfaidh an fhoireann Taistil Dhaoinithe Wikimedia an t-alt turas a dhéanamh ar bhfreastalacha ar aghaidh.

Tá sé mar aidhm againn Stipendiums Digiteach a bheith ar fáil trí phacáiste sonraí eSIM a dhéanfar inrochtana roimh an gcomhdháil, ar mhéid uasta de 80 EUR. Cé gur é seo ár gcéad rogha maidir le Stipendiums Digiteacha a sholáthar a aithníonn muid nach féidir le gach duine a fhaigheann stipendiums a bheith in ann rochtain a fháil ar an stipendium seo agus go gcomhlíonfaidh sé riachtanais an chuid is fearr a bheidh againn ar iarratas. Má cheannaíonn cuairteoirí na dtaispeanna pacáistí sonraí, ní fhéadfar iad a aisíocacht ach amháin nuair a aontaítear roimh ré agus a fhaigheann WCI na dtaispéanna.

Má bhíonn aon fhadhb agat le d'iarratas nó má tá ceisteanna agat, bíodh leisce ort teagmháil a dhéanamh le Richard Nevell (WMUK) (richard.nevell(_AT_)wikimedia.org.uk).
