Creative Commons (CC) Certificate courses are widely considered an essential resource for open access education and for increasing capacity for individuals and institutions using the CC licenses to increase open access. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The CC Certificate program offers in-depth courses about CC licenses, open practices, and the ethos of the Commons. Courses are composed of various readings, quizzes, discussions, and practical exercises to develop learners’ open skills. Currently we offer a CC Certificate for Open Culture, a CC Certificate for Academic Librarians, and a CC Certificate for Educators. Courses are open to everyone, from university students and entry-level professionals to experts in the fields of library science, education, and cultural heritage. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With the goal of reducing the barrier of participating in one of these essential trainings, CC is proud to have recently awarded eight scholarships. These scholarships would not be possible without your </span><a href="https://www.classy.org/give/313412/#!/donation/checkout?c_src=email&c_src2=scholarshipfall2024blog/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">donations</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. We invite you to donate today so that we can continue offering these scholarships. You may also want to consider joining our </span><a href="https://creativecommons.org/support-cc/open-infrastructure-circle/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Open Infrastructure Circle</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> so that we can increase participation in these trainings globally. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Join us in congratulating the following scholarship recipients and keep reading to learn more about their journey in the open community: </span></p> <h2>ABIR Mohammed Galib Hasan, Bangladesh</h2> <p>Galib is a PhD Researcher in Hokkaido University, Japan.
