Many of the scholarships we plan to issue are aimed at supporting female participation. They are the ones most usually tasked with preparing food or taking care of their dependents and children. Making the participation easy for everyone (Wikimania events and transport to them both support the participation of people who don't have good conditions for participation at home or would prefer to share this celebration with other community members) is essential for us. This way, we can make Wikimania truly inclusive and use the fact that it is happening online to introduce it to the broader Polish community that may not yet have had the chance to participate in it in the past years.
If you are planning to distribute funds to community members, such as by running a local scholarship program, please provide additional detail on how you will organize this process.
Please provide a summary explaining the following:
- how you will invite community members to apply for funding,
- the criteria you will use to determine eligibility, and
- the processes or services you will use to distribute funds.
This description does not need to be comprehensive, but should generally explain the process for how community members will receive funds or support to participate in Wikimania. For support on eligibility criteria, feel free to review this reviewer's guide for previous Wikimania scholarship programs.
If you are not distributing funds to community members, please write N/A below.
- N/A, no direct fund distribution
