PS
The global south also includes Australia (so big and yet so seemingly
insignificant), New Zealand, Melanesia, Micronesia, Polynesia Š

My understanding of Wikimania Scholarship program is that Full
scholarships are subject to quotas, while there is usually no
geographical or linguistic limit to partial scholarships.
However, final approval for Full Scholarships is based on the applicant's
home country, each applicant will be categorized as either a Global North
or Global South applicant, with the total number of scholarships
distributed between the Global North and Global South being set at 25%
and 75% respectively.
The Global South includes Asia (with the exception of Japan, Hong Kong,
Macau, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan), Turkey, Central America, South
America, Mexico, Africa, and the Middle East (with the exception of
Israel). If 124 scholarship was awarded, and 75% is expected to be
awarded for global south, it means, 93 Wikimedians are expected to get
the scholarship from these region. Since global south consists of Turkey,
Central America, South America, Mexico, Africa, and the Middle East, then
no fewer than 15 Wikimedians are expected to get scholarship from Africa.
Unless I'm missing something. If only 4 Wikimedians got scholarship from
Africa, where are the 89 scholarships?
Warmest regards,
Olatunde Isaac.
