successfully got one :)
If anyone is interested in knowing about the process or anything, please
feel free to get in touch with me, I would be more than happy to share my
knowledge and Visa interview with you.

Hi all,
Special congratulations to all those who received Wikimania
Scholarships this year.
As Sodabottle commented, last year, it was extremely useful by knowing
each other, who all are traveling and helping each other with visa
applications and other formalities.
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/index.php?title=Wikimania2011&action=historysu…p;oldid=3940.
A lot of offline discussions and muutal helps ensured that most people
get their visas in time and was able to attend the Wikimania.
This year, there is a page created for this purpose *
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Wikimania2012 *
Requesting all those who received the Scholarships or attending Wikimania
from India, to add their details here.
If you have received the scholarship, don't forget to confirm your
acceptance, book the tickets with the foundation travel agent and also work
on the US visa asap. With USA this year, it is going to difficult with the
visas, so please ensure that you do the homework and work on the visa
formalities with due diligence.
You have received scholarships from among hundreds of applications world
wide, so request to kindly take it very seriously and ensure that you
utilize this precious opportunity. If wasted, please remember that another
deserving person could have instead attended the Wikimania.
For those whose applications were "rejected" this year, don't worry... it
has nothing to do with your accomplishments or your good work for the
Wikimania Movement. I am also one among those rejected this year. :) I got
my first Wikimania scholarship in 2010 after applying for several years
....
With so many applications from world over and hundreds of Wikimedians from
different languages and countries, it is difficult to accommodate lots of
people with the limited number of scholarships.
And don't forget to apply next year ! And Keep up the great work !
Best wishes again to all those who received Wikimania Scholarships this
year.
Regards
Tinu Cherian
