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
