We’re excited to announce the second edition of pr05 (pronounced “pros”), a grant and mentorship initiative by the Processing Foundation designed to support the professional growth of early to mid-career software developers through hands-on involvement in open-source projects.
This is a unique opportunity to grow as a developer while making a tangible impact on software projects used by millions of creatives, artists, educators, and students globally.
This year’s theme is Building Bridges, with a focus on improving interoperability across projects projects in the Processing ecosystem (Processing Java, p5.js, and beyond). See the pr05 wiki for more.
Applications opens on May 1
Applications close on Friday, May 31, 2025, 11:59 PM EST
As part of the application, you’ll need to choose a project from the 2025 pr05 Project List. The grant offers a $10,000 stipend for 200 hours of contribution over 4 months. Selected grantees will also join regular cohort meetings and town halls together with our Fellowship cohort. The program is fully remote, and we welcome international applicants.
