Each year, we offer travel grants to outstanding community members who would like to attend our meeting and are in need of financial assistance.
As you can see from this list, there are many ways to contribute to OpenMRS! Applications will be reviewed and scholarships awarded based on the strength of the applicant’s statement of interest and contributions to OpenMRS.
A gentle reminder that OMRS19 scholarship applications will be closing on Tuesday, 1 October. Please be sure to submit your application before then if you would like to be considered.
I want to thank the 50+ people who applied for a scholarship to attend our 2019 OpenMRS Implementer’s Meeting.
Last year, we were able to offer 20 scholarships and we hope to do the same this year. Unfortunately, that means that we won’t be able to support everyone who applied. The Scholarship Committee (@dkayiwa@mseaton@christine@c.antwi@carina and myself) reviewed all of the applications to come up with list of finalists and an active waitlist. We have asked scholarship recipients to RSVP as soon as possible so that we can notify those on the waitlist by the end of next week.
I’ve enjoyed reading about all of the OpenMRS experience highlighted through these applications. This is an incredible community!
