This is hard enough for us to do--and we certainly appreciate people taking the time to read things thoroughly. If you had read it, you would understand that this was not a broad applicant rejection but that most of the decisions had been made. We have been sending out general "We are sorry" emails, to those who have already been eliminated. If you have not been sent an email, it means you're still in consideration for the remaining money left to be allocated toward scholarships, and also that we still anticipate some people would not accept the partial scholarships that were offered. - -- Cary Bass Volunteer Coordinator Your continued donations keep Wikipedia running!
