WordCamp Asia 2025 Announces Two Scholarships for Attendees

WordCamp Asia 2025, in partnership with The WordPress Foundation and WordCamp Central, has announced two scholarship opportunities for the upcoming event in Manila, Philippines. These scholarships aim to support community members by covering essential expenses such as flights, accommodation, and event tickets. A team of program managers from WordCamp Central and the WordPress Global Community Team will oversee the selection process.

The Kim Parsell Memorial Scholarship is being extended to WordCamp Asia for the very first time. Previously, this scholarship was exclusively available for WordCamp US attendees. It is designed to support women who are active contributors to the WordPress project, have never attended WordCamp Asia, and require financial assistance to participate in the 2025 event.

The Diversity Fund Scholarship reflects WordCamp Asia’s commitment to inclusivity and accessibility. This scholarship supports active WordPress contributors who have never attended flagship WordCamps (Asia, US, or Europe) and require financial assistance. It prioritizes individuals from underrepresented demographics who are eager to use their WordCamp experience to strengthen their local WordPress communities in Asia.

Applications for both scholarships are now open and will remain so until December 6, 2024. If you meet the criteria, don’t miss the chance to apply. All applicants will be notified of their selection status by December 20, 2024.

Also mark your calendars—the third batch of tickets will drop on November 28 and 29, 2024.
