Re: [Wikimedia ZA] Wikimania 2017 scholarships

So I understand there are typically not enough scholarships applications from Southern Africa, but from David's mail I understand there are usually too many applications for scholarships overall. So how many scholarships are typically granted overall, and how many applications are from Southern Africa typically?

Every year there are many more qualified applications than we have scholarships to give, so it's crucial that you put yourself in the mind of someone who has no idea who you are when you explain what you have done for the movement, and how you intend to use Wikimania to help strengthen your local free knowledge community. Best of luck!
