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
