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

If you were thinking of applying for a scholarship from either the

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