The Wikimedia Foundation's '''Fellowships Program''' is an opportunity for individuals and teams to concentrate full-time on important problems and opportunities in [[Our projects|Wikimedia projects]] and the movement as a whole. Fellows lead intensive, time-limited projects focused on key areas of risk and opportunity — projects that require the support of the Foundation to succeed. These very qualified members of the Wikimedia community each have their own objectives that require a unique skill set.

The length of the Fellowships at the Wikimedia Foundation vary from weeks to as long as a year, depending on the requirements of the project. A handful of Fellows may eventually join the Foundation [[staff]] permanently. However, the purpose of the program is to take charge of vital work that may not require a long-term position but which volunteers have not previously dealt with successfully.

Several Fellowship recipients have been announced to date and more information regarding these Fellowships can be found below. More information about the current program is also available on the Wikimedia Blog, in the blog post [http://blog.wikimedia.org/?p=2398 announcing the Fellowship Program].
