We’re thrilled to announce the Open Horizons Scholarship, a new initiative to help contributors from underrepresented regions attend flagship WordCamp events, made possible through a generous $30,000 donation from Automattic to the WordPress Foundation.
Thank you, Automattic, for funding this important work. Your support expands opportunities for contributors around the world to participate in person, starting with WordCamp US 2025.
The scholarship will be managed by the WordPress Foundation, which will oversee the application and selection process and ensure that funds are distributed equitably. This new program joins the Kim Parsell Memorial Scholarship and the Diversity Scholarship by WordPress Community Support, reinforcing a shared commitment to a more inclusive and globally representative WordPress community.
If your company believes in a more diverse, open, and accessible web, we invite you to join us. Support a scholarship. Sponsor a contributor. Help build the future of WordPress, together
