New subject: Fw: [Wikimania-l] Reminder: Wikimania 2014 scholarship deadline 17 February

12 Feb 2014

Hi Katie,

I asked this a while ago and your answer was essentially "we're working on
it", but I don't think I'm the only one wondering, so I'll ask on this
list.

What do UK (in particular non-London)  residents who want financial support to attend do?
Is there going to be a separate process or do we need to apply for a scholarship through
the WMF (which would be a bit silly imho)?

I'm sure it would be useful to know before the scholarships deadline.

Thanks, 

Harry Mitchell

the deadline is end of the day UTC this coming Monday. Don't miss it!
