Wikimania Scholarships and Event Coordinator

Summary

The Wikimedia Foundation is the nonprofit that hosts Wikipedia and our other free knowledge projects. We want to make it easier for everyone to share what they know. To do this, we keep Wikipedia and Wikimedia sites fast, reliable, and available to all. We protect the values and policies that allow free knowledge to thrive. We build new features and tools to make it easy to read, edit, and share from the Wikimedia sites. Above all, we support the communities of volunteers around the world who edit, improve, and add knowledge across Wikimedia projects. 

Wikimania is the Wikimedia movement's annual conference, organized by volunteers and hosted by the Wikimedia  Foundation. 

Since 2011, the winner of the Wikimedian of the Year award (known as the "Wikipedian of the Year" until 2017) has been announced at Wikimania. 

Wikimania attracts Wikimedia project participants and volunteers from around the world, including writers, editors, programmers, and photographers; Wikimedia Foundation staff and trustees. Many researchers also attend and present.
