Unfortunately, with the hundreds of applications we received, we're
not able to reply individually to those who didn't receive assistance.
This isn't to say that your applications weren't good, or what you
weren't deserving—the simple fact is that we have an extremely limited
budget, and we chose the people we thought were the best candidates
based on the information available to us.

If you weren't sponsored, it isn't that we looked at your application
and ruled you out, but rather that we weren't able to accommodate you
in our budget. It's very, very difficult to weigh one person's value
over another's, and there are a great many candidates I wish we could
have helped, but that was the difficult task with which we were
charged, and we did our best.

Austin
