प्रः विकिपिडिया संस्थानले किन अर्ध छात्रवृत्ती प्रदान नगरेको होला?

छात्रवृत्ती योग्यता

प्रः विकिमेनिया २०१४ मा सहभागि हुन विकिपिडिया संस्थान छात्रवृत्ती पाउन कस्ता व्यक्ति योग्य हुनेछ?
A: While anyone can apply for a scholarship to attend Wikimania, the most eligible candidates are active contributors to one or more Wikimedia projects, affiliates, or initiatives who have a clear interest in Wikimania and the Wikimedia movement. Participants in other free knowledge, free software, collaborative or educational initiatives are also encouraged to apply.

प्रः उमेरको कुनै हदवन्दी छ?
A: No, anyone is welcome to apply. However, if a child applicant is offered a scholarship, the consent of their parent(s) or guardian(s) will be required before it is awarded. For this process, a child is defined as someone below the age of eighteen years when their application is submitted.

प्रः के आवेदनहरुले आवेदन पेश गर्नु अगाडी कुनै शर्त तथा नियमा मान्नु पर्नेछ?
A: Yes, they are located on the bottom of the application form – all terms and conditions must be checked off before an application form can be submitted.

Q: Why do applicants have to agree to some terms and conditions before submitting their application?
A: To ensure that they understand what they will be expected to do and what they will be required to pay for if they receive a scholarship.

Q: Do applicants have to sign-up to a privacy agreement before submitting an application?
A: Yes, this agreement is located on the bottom of the application form – all applications must indicate their consent to the agreement by entering their full name in the appropriate box. Applicants below the age of eighteen years (see above) must also have their legal parent or guardian enter their full name in a separate box.

Q: Why do applicants have to consent to a privacy agreement before submitting their application?
A: For legal reasons and to ensure applicants understand what will happen to the data they submit.

Q: If an applicant has received a scholarship or travel grant to attend a previous Wikimania, are they eligible to receive one for Wikimania 2014 as well?
A: Yes. However, applicants who have not previously received a scholarship will be favoured in the event of identical or similar overall scores – see Scholarships#Selection process for more information.

प्रः यदी मैले आफै विकिमेडियामा भाग लिने खर्च ब्यहोर्न सक्छु भने मैले आवेदन भर्दा हुन्छ?
A: Scholarship recipients are not selected based on financial need, as such factors cannot be assessed by the Scholarship Committee when reviewing applications. However, it is asked that applicants carefully consider their financial need against the needs of other applicants from all over the world. Many applicants do not have the financial means to attend Wikimania without this opportunity.

छात्रवृत्ती आवेदन लेख्ने

प्रः के आवेदन अग्रेजी भाषामाले पेश गर्नु पर्ने हुन्छ?
A: No, but it is strongly recommended that they are, as English is the only language that all members of the Scholarship Committee can understand. In the event that an application is submitted in a language other than English, translation attempts will be made, but this may require the use of computer translators which do not always provide accurate translations. Note that as part of the phase one selection criteria, applicants must provide evidence of English language abilities that are at a level that would enable them to participate in Wikimania, which is primarily conducted in English.

प्रः के आवेदकले आवेदन फारममा भएको सम्पूर्ण प्रश्नहरुको जवाफ दिनु पर्दछ?
A: Yes, except when not applicable or relevant to the applicant. If an applicant fails to make a reasonable effort to answer the questions, their application will likely fail the phase one selection criteria.

प्रः आवेदन फारमले किन व्यक्तिगत जानकारी माग गरिरहेको छ?
उः छात्रवृत्ती वाँडफाँडमा तथा विविधता अनुगमनमा सहजता ल्याउनको लागी माग गरिएको हो । याद गर्नु होला छनौट प्रक्रिया मा उल्लेख गरिएको आधार अनुसार छनौट गरिनेछ ।

प्रः आवेदन फारममा कुन विकिमेडिया परियोजनाको युजरनेम लेख्नु पर्ने हुन्छ?
A: All usernames that have been used by the applicant for contributing to Wikimedia projects. Unused accounts need not be listed. In any case there is no obligation for applicants to list all accounts they own or use for editing.

प्रः के आवेदकले आफ्नो जवाफको प्रमाणको रुपमा वेभपेजको लिङ्क उपलब्ध गराउनु पर्ने हुन्छ?
उः यदी उपयुक्त छ भने उपलब्ध गराउनु पर्दछ । पुनरावलोकनकर्ताहरुले सबै उपलब्ध सान्दर्भिक जानकारीलाई ध्यानमा राखि आवेदन पुनरावलोकन गर्नेछन् ।

प्रः प्रश्नको जवाफ लेख्दा कति लेख्नु पर्दछ?
A: Enough to give reviewers a clear picture of the applicant – guidance on what to write is provided with the phase two selection criteria. The appropriate length for an answer varies from applicant to applicant depending on what they have to show. For most applicants, between three and five normal sized paragraphs per question answer will be sufficient. Reviewers do not expect to receive an essay, but overly short answers will usually fail to support the application clearly enough.

Q: Can well known/established users skip the questions asking about their participation in Wikimedia projects, interest in Wikimania etc?
A: No. Having more contributions should normally mean providing longer answers, not shorter ones and definitely not no answers at all. On grounds of fairness, all applicants are expected to make a reasonable effort to answer the questions as per the phase one selection criteria.

छात्रवृत्रीको मान्यता तथा सोधभर्ता प्रक्रिया

प्रः विकिपिडिया संस्थान छात्रवृत्तीले के को लागी भुक्तानी गर्दैछ?
A: A Wikimedia Foundation scholarship will cover the cost of an individual's round-trip travel costs as arranged by the Wikimedia Foundation travel agency, shared accommodation as arranged by the Wikimedia Foundation, registration for Wikimania, and some meals during the conference (within the conference venue). If you are interested in attending the pre-conference events on 6–7 August, accommodation will be covered for this as well.

प्रः विकिमेनिया संस्थान छात्रवृत्तीमा कस्ता खालका खर्चहरु कभर गर्दैन?
A: Expenses that are not covered include any incidental costs (new passport, travel guides, plug adapters, clothes, etc.), local transportation during the conference (including airport transfers), meals outside of the conference venue, and all expenses associated with any vacation taken outside of the conference dates of 6-10 August. Please note that during the conference, some meals are provided. The Wikimedia Foundation will not normally cover the cost of obtaining a visa (see Travel) – exceptions may be made upon request.

Q: How will the Wikimedia Foundation pay for the expenses of scholarship recipients? Send them the money? Reimburse them?
A: The Wikimedia Foundation will pay directly for conference registration fees, travel, and shared accommodation. For the booking of transport, applicants are required to use a travel booking service contracted by the Wikimedia Foundation.

प्रः विकिमेडिया संस्थानको छात्रवृत्ती पाउने व्यक्तिले आफै भ्रमण व्यवस्था मिलाई सोधभर्ना लिने हो?
उः होइन, आवेदनफारम पेश गर्दाको शर्त मा भए अनुसार (हेर्नु होस् छात्रवृत्तीहरु#छात्रवृत्ती योग्यता), सबै आवेदकहरुले विकिमेडिया संस्थानले उपलब्ध गराएको टिकट बुकिङ्ग सेवालाई मान्नु पर्ने हुन्छ ।

उः मैले कही विकिमेनियामा दर्ता गर्न सक्छु ?
A: People who receive a scholarship will be provided a special code to register for the conference. All final decisions for the Wikimedia Foundation scholarships should be announced by mid-April (see Scholarships#Important dates; the page will be updated in the event of a delay).

प्रः के विकिमेडिया संस्थानले भिमा लिनमा सहयोग गर्नेछ?
A: The Wikimania organising team will provide an invitation letter for all scholarship recipients requiring a visa to attend the conference (see Travel). However, we expect individuals to cover their own visa expenses as well as contacting the British Consulate on their own or through a visa service in their home country. The UK accepts applications for visas 90 days prior to the expected date of entering the UK. If you have questions about this, please contact wikimania-registrationwikimedia.org.

Q: Do applicants interested in both a Wikimedia Foundation scholarship and an affiliate scholarship need to apply twice?
A: It varies. Most affiliates will be using the applications for Wikimedia Foundation scholarships to select their recipients, meaning making additional applications directly to the affiliate will not be necessary. However, some affiliates require separate applications. See Scholarships#Affiliate scholarships for more information.

उः यदी साझेदारले छुट्टै आवेदन माग गरेमा, त्यो बुझाउने अन्तिम म्याद कहिले सम्म हुन्छ ?
उः त्यो कुन साझेदार हो भन्नेमा भर पर्दछ – हेर्नु होस् छात्रवृत्तीहरु#साझेदार छात्रवृत्तीहरु.

प्रः साझेदार छात्रवृत्तीको लागी कस्ता व्यक्ति योग्य हुन्छन्?
A: Most affiliates will only provide scholarships to individuals who are relevant to them, such as those who have contributed to Wikimedia projects in languages of interest to the affiliate, or who live in the country where an affiliate is based. See Scholarships#Affiliate scholarships for affiliate-by-affiliate details.

प्रः साझेदारहरुले आफुले दिने छात्रवृत्तीको लागी कसरी निर्णय गर्दछन्?
A: Final decisions on successful applications are usually made by the affiliates themselves. If an affiliate is using applications for Wikimedia Foundation scholarships (see above), they may take the reviews completed by the Scholarship Committee as a starting point. The affiliates which do not use these applications will carry out their own review and selection process independently of both the Scholarship Committee and the Wikimedia Foundation.
