I tend to agree with Mike, but not entirely. I'd say you should ask scholarship recipients if they object to their name being published. If they do (for any reason or no reason whatsoever), obviously you shouldn't publish their name; if they don't, you should publish it. Transparency is one of WMUK's goals (on paper), and allowing interested parties to evaluate how the charity spends its money, and feed back on especially good or poor decisions, is a big part of that.

Scholarships recipients are encouraged to openly participate prior, during, and after their attendance to a conference, but they may well have legitimate reasons why they may not want their receiving of scholarship
or attendance to be known publicly in advance or at all. We have not and do not seek permissions from a travel scholarship applicant to publish their names, however they are free to do so if they wish. This is the same as for the Wikimedia Foundation when they are awarding scholarships to Wikimania.
