Leo,
Probably I should have made it explicit, but I intended to cover this
aspect under "economic need" (the second criteria I mentioned).
Obviously, on average students from the US or Western Europe will have
more money than students from a developing country. But then again,
there are very rich families in developing countries as well. So in my
opinion geography should not be a criteria on its own, we will have to
see what the applicants write about their financial situations.
Best
