Thank you very much Deryck,

I'd suggest to add a section to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:TPS/Wikimania_scholars for example, where all such applications could be linked so that they won't get lost in the wikimaniawiki pages. It could also be helpful for future reviewers to see what applications were successful the years before, hence could be linked on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:TPS/Wikimania_scholars/Reviewer%27s_guide as well. What do you think?

Best,

Martin

Betreff: [Wikimania-l] Successful scholarship applications

It's good that we're discussing the hurdle for someone to get their first scholarship to participate in Wikimania. In addition to the suggestions in the other thread, I'd like to lead an initiative to help future applicants who want their first-ever Wikimania scholarship.

As a successful Wikimania 2017 scholarship applicant, I'm publishing on-wiki all my answers to the scholarship application form, except personal information:

https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Deryck_Chan/Scholarship_application

I encourage all other successful scholarship applicants to do the same. If you kept a draft of your application form, redact any personally identifiable information and publish it on wikimania2017wiki. This will help future scholarship applicants get a feeling of what the reviewers are looking for.

Deryck
