I was a former Wikimania scholarship recipient. To put it briefly, the Wikimania experience was something that I deeply value and will forever cherish. Somewhat sadly though, it is only after quite some years after Wikimania that I actually realised the
value of the scholarship award (in monetary terms), that too with loose estimates done by myself purely out of curiosity.
Would it make sense to include the approximate total monetary value of the scholarship award (airfare, lodging, insurance, logistics, etc) within the scholarship award emails to the recipients? I feel this would give much deserving weight in the award
itself, as I'm sure many of us isn't aware of the actual amount of resources that is put in a given person's award.
