It's worth looking at the Wikicite e-scholarship model:

Thanks for your input Mohamed, you're right. Those are actually some of the areas the scholarship should help facilitate.

We shall update you more on this soon enough.

        I don't understand what is the purpose of the scholarship this
        year, there isn't to travel and no physical venue to host
        Wikimania, what is the purpose of the scholarship?

            Dear Wikimedia Community Members,


            We’re so excited to share some updates with you around
            Wikimania 2021! We’ve been hard at work, getting things
            running and putting things in place and realized we have so
            much we’d like to share with you. Thank you for your
            flexibility and understanding, as we navigate through this
            rapidly moving ship.


             1.

                Wikimania 2021 will be happening! We’ve already
                announced the dates (August 13-17) but wanted to remind
                you - in case you had any doubts - that the first-ever
                virtual Wikimania will be happening - and we want you
                there! [1]


             2.

                We noticed that all though we’ve been going full speed
                on the back end at organizing Wikimania 2021, we haven’t
                updated you as frequently as we would like… So, we will
                be sending out a weekly update email to all of you on
                Mondays - until the event goes live. Which in case you
                were wondering, is in 3 months and 2 days! (Yes, that soon!)


             3.

                We will be having a Scholarship Program this year as
                well! We’d like to remove most barriers of participation
                for those who would otherwise not be able to join. More
                information will be coming soon around Scholarships - so
                stay tuned!


             4.

                This year's theme is: Celebrate 20 years of Wikipedia
                and the humans who make it happen. We will also be
                opening up submission proposals for sessions - you can
                apply as an individual, a collective or a Community
                Organization.


            We are excited about all the work and progress happening so
            far to make this event happen. We're looking forward to
            hearing about your amazing session proposals to help bring
            Wikimania 2021 to life. We can't wait to convene to
            celebrate two decades of free knowledge.


            Best Wishes,

            Winnie Kabintie (User:Ms_Kabintie
