FAQ
Hisobot uchun qanday talablar mavjud?
Xabar berish o'rniga, biz olimlardan tadbirda ko'ngilli sifatida qo'llab-quvvatlashlarini so'raymiz. Biz sizning ehtiyojlaringiz, ko'nikmalaringiz va tajribangizga mos keladigan rolni topishda siz bilan birga ishlaymiz. Siz hisobot yozishingiz mumkin!ㆍ.ㄱㄷㄱ
Grantimni boshqa birovga o'tkaza olamanmi?
Yo'q. Tenglikni ta'minlash uchun stipendiya ma'lum bir tartibda ko'rib chiqildi. Agar qabul qiluvchi rad etishni tasdiqlasa, biz uni ko'rib chiqish tartibida keyingi shaxsga o'tkazamiz.
Agar men bu yㅈㄷilgi stipendiyani ㅡrad qilsam, uni keyingi yilgi Vikimaniya'ga o'tkaza olamanmi?
Yo'q. Har yili Wikimania ma'lum mintaqalarda har bir COT ko'rib chiqishda turli mavzular ostida o'rnatildi. Biz sizni keyingi yil uchun yana ariza topshirishingizni rag'batlantiramiz, ammo ko'rib chiqish jarayonida sizning doimiy qimmatli hissangizni hisobga olishni ta'minlaymiz.
Agar men stipendiya olmagan bo'lsam, stipendiya guruhidan arizamni qayta ko'rib chiqishni so'rashim mumkinmi?
Yo'q. Bizning ko'rib chiqish jarayonimiz bir nechta puxta bosqichlarni o'z ichiga oladi va afsuski, uni faqat bir marta bajarish mumkin.
Men stipendiya olish uchun ariza topshirdim, lekin ololmadim. Endi nima qilaman?
Wikimania-ga kirish uchun stipendiya olish shart emas; o'z xarajatlaringizni qoplashingiz mumkin ekan, ishtirok etish uchun ro'yxatdan o'tishingiz ham mumkin.
Agar siz o'z xarajatlaringizni qoplay olmasangiz, mintaqangizdagi filial bilan bog'lanishingizni qat'iy tavsiya qilamiz. Ular o'zlarining stipendiya dasturlarini olib borishlari yoki mahalliy tadbirni o'tkazishlari mumkin!

While we were able to grow the scholarships budget and increase the total number of scholarships offered this year (up by 25% from 2023 and double the number given in 2019), the process was still highly competitive—roughly 1 in 7 participants was accepted. The numbers below show by region the applications and the number of scholars we aim to accept. Note that for 2024 we have shifted our resources to awarding more partial scholarships to the people physically closer to the in-person event (CEE, NWE and MENA). Along with covering partial and full in-person scholarships, the Wikimedia Foundation will continue to subsidize the in person ticket for all attendees. The Foundation will also cover all costs related to the virtual event, staffing and language translations which make our event inclusive—it will remain free to attend virtually.
In the next few weeks and months, we will be publishing data about the scholarship process. We would like to publish several “lessons learned”, both for the community and future organizers and useful resources for future applicants (including a few best-scored applications from this year and general comments that should be useful in application preparing for future Wikimanias and other conferences).

Hub and regional conferences scholarships [NEW IN 2024!]
In 2024, the Wikimania organizers decided to, for the first time in history, include regional communities, meetings and hubs in the process of directly naming their representatives to Wikimania. This new approach is being used on trial basis for 2024 to ensure that regional and expertise diversities are present at Wikimania 2024 in Katowice.
The Core Organizing Team decided to award around 14% of all available scholarship seats to:
- some of the Wikimedia Hubs,
- some of the regional Wikimedia conferences.
In addition, three regions/hubs (ESEAP, EARTH and WikiFranca) will have auxiliary representatives due to their Wikimania Core Organizing Teams as representatives.
| Hub/meeting | Region | # of seats | Names of representatives |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wikimedia EARTH Hub | Sub-Saharan Africa | 1[3] | Coming at the appropriate time |
| Wiki Indaba Meeting | Sub-Saharan Africa + Middle East & North Africa | 1[3] | |
