Isla,
I am in the process of putting up information from the scholarship committee onto the wiki and will respond to the other thread on wikimania-l soon.
124 Scholarships were awarded.
Of the 400 scholarships that passed into Phase 2 of the review, 20 were African applicants passed Phase 2. 4 of those got scholarships, so by my calculations that's 20% of the eligible African applicants.
Geographic regions are *not* the emphasis of the program.
You might want to take this up directly with the Scholarship Committee if you have ideas for changes to the program in the future?
