I rather liked the idea of partial scholarships in past years since it
would allow more people to attend on the same budget when practical.
Can I ask why this was decided against this year?
Per the FAQ[1]:
"The low acceptance rate of partial scholarships and overhead in
reimbursing for partial scholarships for Wikimania 2013
<https://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_page> made it apparent
that the funds would be better spent in offering more full scholarships."
I hope that helps.
