Stipend

edit

The internet stipend will cover the cost of internet access for the recipients for a six month period. This will include the cost of monthly internet access, any deposit for a new connection, and the purchase of any required equipment like dongle or modem. The stipend will support the cost of internet access which works best for each recipient be it broadband or mobile based connection. This support is offered assuming good faith in order to empower each recipient's contribution to the best of his/her ability. We encourage fellow community members to welcome them as usual.

Each recipient will be contacted through their talk pages and contact email address given on the application form. We plan to disperse this support before the end of March 2018. Please contact tito at cis-india.org or tanveer at cis-india.org if you need clarification or leave a message in the talk page.
