<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>
