Fae,
I'll assume you didn't mean that to sound like an allegation of corruption, but regardless, it's not really helpful. The idea of a discussion is that you let the other person answer before making a point that's already been made.
Thanks, Harry Mitchell

Secret scholarships. How bizarre, this is the opposite of transparency and would be an especially difficult thing to justify if it later came out that relatives, friends, people with no previous connection to Wikimedia projects were getting large sums of money with no public declarations.

It is not standard practice for a list of attendees to Wikimedia conferences to be published. It is up to the individuals in question whether they want it be known publicly that they are attending or have attended a particular Wikimedia conference. That any particular individual attendance are funded by Wikimedia UK or for that matter the Wikimedia Foundation rather than privately does not affect that.
Like other Wikimedia conferences, there is an unofficial list on the conference pages where participates are able to publicly indicate their planned attendance. In addition, all scholarship recipients agrees to produce a public report afterwards summarising the key things they have taken from the event.

There were two valid applications, which we are both funding.
Where is the list going to be published?
