Applications for the 2025 fellowship open December 9, 2024 at 8am UTC. You can apply using these forms: English, Español, Français. Submit your application by January 12, 2025 at 11:59pm UTC.

Who can apply?

You can apply if your community’s language (or dialect) is endangered, dormant, or under-resourced in a specific space. For example, perhaps your language is widely spoken in your community, but it has no digital support. If you’re an outside researcher, you must apply with a member of the community whose language you hope to support.

Do I need to be fluent in my language?

No! If your ancestors spoke the language that you want to revitalize, you are welcome to apply.

What if my country is under sanctions?

If your country is on the U.S. Treasury’s OFAC Sanctions List, you can still apply, but we may not be able to give you a grant. If you have questions about this, please write to hello@wikitongues.org.
