*insulting*?
Woow that's a strong word there. But I think similar discussions like these
spawn up kinda every year just after the scholarships are out. Then fade
out gradually.
And by the way, please don't take this seriously:
- Based on the applicant's home country, each applicant will be
categorized as either a Global North or Global South
<https://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_South> applicant, with
the *total
number of scholarships distributed between the Global North and Global
South being set at 25% and 75% respectively.*
I doubt its ever been used, although its nicely typed there.

Okay - it is 2%,
but it is still insulting.

Okay - so - of 170 potential full and partial scholarships offered by the
WMF, Africa got 4.
FOUR.
that is 0.02% of what was on offer.
Mexico I could understand was difficult to access. BUT you couldn’t get
closer to Africa than Italy, if you tried.
That is just not acceptable.

I got a partial scholarship which means I wont have to pay to be at the
conference venue but I will have to pay for my own flight.

Hello All
Just want to do a quick head count to see who got a scholarship to attend
Wikimania. Please just let us know who got one, and who didn’t.
thanks!
