<h1>Fellowship Grant</h1>
<div id="introduction">
<p>The Fellowship grant is a way for people involved in
Free Software activism to become Fellows, even if they
cannot afford the Fellowship donation.</p>
</div>
<p>Despite financial constraints many people in the Free Software community
devote a great deal of their time to Free Software activities. For example
programming, translating, administrating, organising events, giving talks or
advocating Free Software principles at public events. FSFE has now found a
way to recognise their efforts and let them become part of the
Fellowship.</p>
<p>The grants will be awarded upon evaluation of individual candidacies and
will provide a one-year Fellowship subscription. Each month, FSFE will select
three candidates and announce the decisions at the beginning of the following
month.</p>
<h2>Who can apply</h2>
<p>Anyone who:</p>
<ul>
<li>Shares the Fellowship and Free Software principles</li>
<li>Is active in the diffusion, development and improvement of Free Software</li>
<li>Cannot afford the Fellowship contribution</li>
</ul>
<h2>How to apply for a Fellowship grant</h2>
<p>To apply for the grant is very easy: Write an e-mail to <a
href="mailto:fellowship@fsfeurope.org">fellowship (at) fsfeurope (dot)
org</a>, where you introduce yourself, explain the reasons why you would
like to join the Fellowship, and what you have been doing in the past to
support Free Software.</p>
<h2>Who made it possible</h2>
<p>The Fellowship grant has only been possible thanks to <a
href="/donate/thankgnus.html">FSFE's supporters</a>. In particular, a
generous donation from tarent GmbH, finally enabled FSFE to offer the
Fellowship grant. Elmar Geese, CEO at tarent GmbH says:</p>
<blockquote><p>"We grew closer to the Fellowship of FSFE since some of our
employees are already Fellows. We know that being a Fellow is a great way
to become involved with FSFE and make a real difference for Free Software.
We are glad that our contribution will allow other enthusiastic people to
become part of the
Fellowship."</p></blockquote>
