Hi Harry, I can confirm Wikimedia UK will run a separate process closer to Wikimania. Any one from the UK who has already made an application through the Wikimedia Foundation scholarship process and has agreed to "share [their] information with chapters and thematic organizations for purpose of selecting and awarding scholarships" will *not* need to make another application. Anyone else can wait until Wikimedia UK own application are open.
