प्रक्रिया

The Scholarships Review Committee rates scholarships applicants based on a standardized set of criteria. The anticipated timeline for the scholarship program is as follows:

• January 16 – February 16, 2012 – Scholarship application open
• January – early March, 2012 – Scholarship committee reviews applications
• End of March early April – Applicants are notified about final decisions

The WMF Scholarships will be roughly allocated across the regions of the world in the following manner:

Africa	10%
Asia & Pacific	30%
CIS	10%
Europe	10%
MENA	10%
North America	10%
South/Latin America	20%
Regions as defined by International Telecommunications Union (ITU)

The same Selection Criteria (see below) will be used in rating all scholarship applications, but the applications will be compared against the applicants within the region. The Scholarship Committee reserves the right to deviate from these benchmarks, pending lack of qualified applicants.

छात्रवित्तियों के प्रकार

विकिमेनिया २०१२ में आंशिक और पूर्ण छात्रवित्तियां उपलब्ध हैं.

• पूर्ण छात्रवित्तियां में वापसी यात्रा खर्च, छात्रावास सहायता और पंजीकरण प्रदान किया जायेगा
• आंशिक छात्रवित्तियां: विकिमेनिया २०१२ के लिए ३०० यूरो यात्रा खर्च प्रदान किया जायेगा.

The same selection criteria will be used for both types of recipients. On the scholarship application, please indicate your willingness to accept a partial scholarship. As we are not screening applications for financial ability, we are assuming that all who check partial scholarship would be willing to take the partial scholarship to provide those with less resources the opportunity to attend Wikimania.
