The scholarship application form asks applicants if they have submitted a presentation, yet despite the instructions saying The Call for Presentations is expected to be from December 2016 to the end of January 2017 https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Submissions&oldid=7750 Submissions for the programme are not yet open.
Normally that process should be well underway, any idea what's going on.

Wikimania is being held this year in August, so the plan is to have the program committee and call for submissions ready in February. (I've updated the conference wiki to reflect this.) So putting in the application form that you "plan" to submit is good enough for now.
