Sponsored accomodation is open to everyone and will be awarded
according to individual assessment, so I think you should encourage
all students to apply accordingly, and if their (potential)
contribution to Debian is notable, then there ought to be no
problem.
I do not think we should categorically sponsor room & board for
a certain class of attendees, even if they can be somewhat
associated with a sponsor — that would need to be part of the
sponsoring package. In general, we should avoid doing any sort of
special treatment.
