The exact number is to be decided by the Foundation based on flight costs, the geographies of the best candidates etc, but I believe we can talk at least about 50+ full scholarships and 75+ partial scholarships, and that should be a careful estimate. I'm not on the Foundation staff so this is just my personal statement.
I encourage you and your friends to apply.

Hi all,
This is just a reminder that the main scholarship application process for Wikimania 2011 will end on January 31st at 23:59 UTC. Applications received after that time will be discarded [see note].
If you or any of your friends were planning to apply for a scholarship
but
haven't done so yet, I would advise you to do so now, before it's too
late.
Even though we already received many hundreds of applications, we will be sorry to see anyone left out just because he or she missed the
application
deadline.
All information about scholarships and how to apply for them is at http://wikimania2011.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scholarships.
Note: Wikimedia Austria and Wikimedia Switzerland have announced separate scholarship programs for people in their respective countries. Applications for those will be made through the same website and will remain open till February 28th, 2011. Other chapters might follow suit soon, so stay alert for announcements
from
your local chapter.
