Scholarships

Scholarship applications are now closed. Unfold the box below to read more about the scholarship process.

Scholarships

This year’s Celtic Knot Conference will take place in person in Ireland. As this event is focusing on Celtic languages in Europe, we are focusing on supporting in-person attendance for people residing in European countries, but we will also provide support for people who want to watch the conference contents remotely.

We are offering two types of scholarships:

  • In-person scholarships that cover the conference entrance fee, travel, accommodation, and meal-related expenses for recipients for the duration of the conference.
  • Digital scholarships for people attending remotely, in the form of eSIM data packages which will be made accessible ahead of the conference.

The deadline for applications is June 30th at 23:59 UTC and we will aim to inform applicants of the outcome of their application by the end of July.

More information

The digital scholarships processing will be handled by Wikimedia Community Ireland. The travel booking for in-person scholarships will be handled by the Wikimedia Foundation’s Travel team.

We aim to have Digital Scholarships available through eSIM data packages which will be made accessible ahead of the conference, for a maximum amount of 80 EUR. While this is our first choice in providing Digital Scholarships we recognise that this may not be accessible for all scholarship recipients and will cater to needs as best we can upon request. Should data packages be purchased by scholarship recipients these can only be reimbursed when receipts are agreed in advance and received by WCI.

If you encounter any issues with your application or have questions, feel free to contact Richard Nevell (WMUK) (richard.nevell(_AT_)wikimedia.org.uk).
