My understanding (and my hope) is that next year the scholarships will be even more focused on participation and contribution to the event itself. So we can further the idea that a scholarship should be about what you can bring, what you will achieve, and not just be about what you have done, to make the conference have even more tangible outcomes.
Yes, after all the Wikimania 2016 leit-motive is "let's get stuff done". ;-) There are some working documents at https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scholarships which await comments and proposals, by the way.
