We just awarded scholarships to DrupalCon DC to 14 excellent members of the community - congratulations to you all! These scholars are talented developers and active community members, and help out with the Drupal community in many different ways. They maintain modules, patch core, organize Drupal meetups, help with documentation and IRC support, and run usability tests. Some have participated in GHOP and Google Summer of Code, and some are using Drupal at nonprofits to improve worldwide health care and create better and less bureaucratic systems within their organizations. Many are students from colleges like Syracuse University, University of Baltimore, University of British Columbia, and University of Nebraska, and a couple are high school students. We're excited to see you all in March.

We'll be giving out several more scholarships, so if you've applied and weren't picked in the first round, there's still a chance. And if you haven't yet applied, hurry up and submit your application! The deadline is Friday, January 23.
