Since the scholarships haven't been announced yet, is it possible to get assurance that the registration fee will be refunded if we're not awarded a scholarship? Some of us, including myself, are waiting on scholarship notification to find out if we can go, and don't have the money to burn on non-refundable registration.
Yes. You will be refunded if you are not taken into consideration for a scholarship.
However, if I am not mistaken, you can register today, and pay tomorrow at the price of today, so you can probably delay the payment until you've received notice of your scholarship.
For the record, this is only valid for people with pending scholarship accceptance, other people will need to pay within reasonable time of their early bird registration (2/3 days) to see their registration confirmed at early bird price.
