Call for Scholarship (CfS)

Activity	Deadline	Time span	Meeting the deadline
Announcing the CfP	11th April		✅
Submission deadline	11th May (11:59 PM UTC i.e. 12th May 5:29 am IST )	✅
Time given to the participants to submit proposals		1 Month	✅
Reviewing the proposals	by 12th July
Time for the team to review and selected the proposals		~2 months
Communicating the selected proposals with the individuals	13th July

Questions:

• The deadline to submit CfS is ~ a month, will that make sense? I kept a shorter deadline because this will help us gauge the participation as well as help us extend the deadline if we don't meet the expected number. Would like to hear thoughts on this
• Time given to folks to submit proposals is around 2 months, is this too long or good enough? Do you think having a shorter timeline would make it easy for the participants?
