For the past several years anyone who gets a scholarship has to agree to the release of their user name in their acceptance of the award.

Hi,

Long back when I asked for list of scholarship awardees, with their usernames, someone answered saying that the usernames of scholarship awardees can’t be disclosed. How come they have been disclosed now?

Regards,

Pavanaja
