Katherine Maher just announced at Wikimania 2017 that all scholarship recipients who were unable to obtain a visa, will be automatically granted a scholarship for Wikimania 2018.
Sounds very sensible!

Great gesture and so much re-assuring of the spirit that's called Wikimedia revolution!
Kudos! -user:Viswaprabha

This is a great idea! I was really feeling down hearing about how so many people got denied a visa and I did not know how to respond.

Great news.
I hope Maher added too that the WMF would start from today assisting such individuals to obtain visa come 2018 unless the WMF wants to be automatically granting scholarships each year to some applicants from some countries.
