Ujwal Thapa Scholarship

The Ujwal Thapa Scholarship entry is now closed. We will be announcing the awardee soon.

WordCamp Kathmandu 2022 is announcing the Ujwal Thapa scholarship as a tribute to the contribution of the Late Ujwal Thapa to the WordPress Community. There may be fewer of us who don’t know what he did for society and the WordPress community in Nepal in general. Among many things he initiated, the group WordPress Nepal was one that he founded along with Chandra Maharzan and Sakin Shrestha. This group has since grown leaps and bounds and is over 8200 people strong.

However, it is all the memories that he left for us but we can freshen up them by continue doing good wills in his footsteps. There are many initiations that he initiate and made successful with his hard work. This very group has climbed the ladder of success and all of us are thankful to him for that initiation he took back in 2011.

To honour his work and for his remembrance, we have decided to allocate 5 tickets as a scholarship for this event. These will be full fledge tickets for the two-day event. These tickets would be for people who would want to attend the event but cannot afford the ticket.

We are planning to provide 3 scholarships for people from outside Kathmandu valley and 2 for inside valley.
