Also, I would highly encourage those of you who have not applied
before to take notes.  Aleeha, Emily, and I have won scholarships
before and can answer question should they arise after the call, , but
your own notes should be really helpful to you as well.

Fun fact, we've actually had scholarship winners from Ohio 4 years
running now.  Aleeha in 2011, Emily in 2012, me in 2013, and Emily
again in 2014.  Can we go for 5?
