[Wikimania-l] Status of scholarships

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, This is a very difficult note to write, but I believe it's easiest to just write it and be done with it, rather than leaving people in suspense. If you haven't received a scholarship letter by now, chances are very good that you will not receive one. There may be some cancellations as current recipients determine their ability to fulfill the requirements, thus allowing us to provide for additional funding, but otherwise, we have so far had a very limited amount of money earmarked for scholarships and so many people wanting to come to wikimania. Note: there is a specific contribution targeted for individuals in the Arabic world (Generally speaking, primary Arabic speakers with nationalities from countries with largely Arabic speakers or this list: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_world#States_.26_Territories>). We're still working on that list of names, so you may very well still have a letter coming if you're from any of these countries. For the rest of you, I do hope things open up and we're able to get more of you to Alexandria. - -- Cary Bass Volunteer Coordinator Your continued donations keep Wikipedia running!
