Scholarships
In order to support the technical community and to increase diversity among participants, the Wikimedia Foundation runs a scholarship program that will support a selection of technical contributors to allow them to attend the onsite event by taking care of their travel and accommodation.

The scholarship application phase ended on January 14th, it is not possible to apply for a WMF scholarship anymore. Recipients will be notified at the latest on January 31st so they can proceed with travel booking and visa requests if needed.

The scholarship program aims to support engaged members of the technical community. We will prioritize people who have been contributing to the technical environment of the Wikimedia projects for at least one year. Contributors from underrepresented communities are especially encouraged to submit a scholarship application.

The scholarship committee is composed of Léa Lacroix, Srishti Sethi, Ariel Glenn and Marios Magioladitis, and they will review scholarship applications and rank participants based on the following criteria:


 * Active involvement in technical projects in Wikimedia's ecosystem
 * Plans and projects for the Hackathon
 * Geographic/Gender diversity

Please note that full time Wikimedia staff members are not eligible for a scholarship. If you’re WMF staff, please refer to the internal selection process or talk to your manager regarding your attendance.

Wikimedia affiliates may run their own scholarship process in order to support members of their community to attend the hackathon. Details on scholarships that may be provided by Wikimedia affiliates will be added here when more information is available.
 * Wikimedia Österreich is running a scholarship process (applications open until January 9th)

Target audience
The 2023 edition of the Wikimedia Hackathon will focus on bringing together people who already contributed to technical aspects of the Wikimedia projects, who know how to find their way on the technical ecosystem, and who are able to work or collaborate on projects rather autonomously.

This is a change to the previous “one-size-fits-all” model. There are multiple reasons why we want to try something new, based on lessons learned from previous Wikimedia Hackathons and other tech events and workshops:


 * Hosting an event that allows already active and regular technical contributors to connect, work with each other, learn new things and have very specific technical discussions, while also onboarding people new to Wikimedia and/or development to get started has been quite a big stretch.
 * Wikimedia’s technical ecosystem spans many different technical areas and has endless options to contribute and to learn. We need a space where our existing technical community across skills, interests and expertise can come together to connect, hack, and learn from each other.
 * Workshops and smaller events designed around specific skills and technical areas seem to be a better way to help people get started. For example, regular local tech meetups, initiatives like Small Wiki Toolkits, newcomer focused tech sessions at Wikimania, local or regional conferences with a tech track, or a local hackathon for newcomers with focus on a specific field.
 * The international Wikimedia Hackathon isn’t best suited to onboard and build up new local technical communities - it’s a venue to bring people from all over the world together, who might act as bridges to their local communities.

Other events in the Wikimedia Movement are targeted at newcomers: people who are new to Wikimedia and/or development are welcome to attend Wikimania 2023, where technical sessions will take place, or other newcomers-friendly events. (Please add more to the list).

Practically, we are welcoming all participants up to the maximum capacity of the venue, and for the scholarship selection process, we require applicants to demonstrate that they have been active on technical projects for at least one year. The program will include a project matching session during the opening, and introductions to various tools and projects, but we will not run a mentoring program for newcomers. Participants are expected to be able to propose or join projects and to start hacking autonomously.
