I am attempting to do outreach to all the Wikimeida chapters to assess which ones might be offering scholarships to Wikimania 2015 being held in July in Mexico City. The WMF Scholarship program's call for applications has been recently posted and the deadline for receiving applications is February 16. The Scholarship Committee will be doing its review and making its recommendations to WMF from mid-February through mid-March.
If a chapter would like to be sent applications from those submitted to the WMF Scholarships Program, please get in touch with me prior to February 16. It would also be helpful for planning purposes for me to know if a chapter will be offering scholarships directly (not making use of the applications to the WMF program).
For more infomation about the WMF program see:

I look forward to hearing from chapter contacts in the next 3 weeks.
Thank you,
Ellie

Wikimedia Italia plans to offer scholarships directly, like in the past years. The call for applications are likely to come in 1-2 months from now (usually scholarship are discussed together with the annual budget, which is going to be approved in March).
