That's great news!
I am glad, actually, that the decision to remove partial scholarships has
finally been made. As a former scholarship recipient, I can tell that they
weren't quite helpful, at least not in their current amount. If someone
can't already pay the expenses himself, then 50% of flight tickets
shouldn't make that difference. It would be nice if it was reconsidered in
the following years to return the partial scholarships but with some
improvement to cover more expenses, for example 100% of travel costs.
Anyway, I wish a good luck to all applicants. I am looking forward to meet
you in next August, hopefully!
Abbad.
