WordCamp US 2026 will be held August 16-19 in Phoenix, Arizona, and with it returns the WordPress Foundation’s Kim Parsell Memorial Scholarship.

• Requires financial assistance to attend

The scholarship will cover travel to Portland from the recipient's home city, hotel stay for the duration of the event, and a ticket to WordCamp US 2026.
