Wiki Education Registration

In celebration of Women's History Month, Wiki Education is seeking participants for a Wiki Scholars course focused on expanding Wikipedia’s coverage of women scientists. Through this project, Wiki Education aims to train a diverse group of academics, scientists, and university students how to contribute content to Wikipedia while better representing historical figures to the public. Participants are encouraged to seek sponsorship from an employer or other organization with whom you are affiliated to cover the cost of enrollment. With a sufficient number of sponsored enrollees, we may have availability for reduced cost (or free) seats for qualified applicants. If you do not have an institution who can sponsor your participation, please note that in your application.

Thank you for your interest! To get started, please confirm the course below is correct and then enter your email address.

Financial Aid

The full tuition for this course pays for the time our staff will support you through the rigorous process of quality improvement, as well as the technical resources you'll be using. However, we understand that this cost can be a burden.


Many universities, departments, organizations, and companies have funds available for employees' professional development, and you may be able to apply your "broader impact" funding you've received as part of a grant. If you have this opportunity, we are happy to work with you to set up a custom payment plan that allows you to get your fees covered by your employer.


We are also committed to our mission of equity and inclusivity. For those who do not have access to funding, thanks to generous donors, we are often able to provide a small number of need-based awards for qualified applicants whose context and background can greatly improve Wikipedia. If financial aid is available, you'll answer a question below regarding your financial aid needs.
