For the past few years, WordPress Community Support PBC have generously supported the development of the Diversity Sponsorship for WordCamp Asia.
We’re excited to announce that this has been extended to WordCamp Europe 2025, and applications are now open!
This scholarship is provided thanks to members of WordPress Community Support PBC and Queeromattic who suggested that the surplus generated from our 2024 event budgets could be used towards DEIB initiatives at flagship events.
Eligibility Information
The scholarship is intended for individuals who meet the following criteria:
- Is an active WordPress project contributor.
- Has never attended any flagship WordCamps (Asia, US, or Europe) before.
- Requires financial assistance to attend.
- Belongs to an underrepresented demographic among open-source contributors. Is interested in using their experience to grow their local WordPress community and/or the WordPress community in Europe.
The funds can be used towards travel to Basel from the recipient’s home city, hotel stay for the duration of the event, and a ticket to WordCamp Europe 2025. Funds cannot be used for transportation to/from the airport, meals or other additional travel expenses.
If you meet the above requirements and would like to be considered, please apply as soon as possible. Applications will be accepted until the closing date of 31 January 2025.
