So I finally pulled the trigger and broke the bad news to the applicants who applied for the club's scholarship.  I hope those I said no to don't think my rejection letter is bullshit.  Truly, all the students who applied sound absolutely fucking awesome, and by all rights they all deserve money.  I could only pick one, and although I stand by my decision, I still feel absolutely terrible writing those regret e-mails.

I also hope to God I didn't make any typos, nor said anything that could be construed as insensitive or tone-deaf.  I think I double-checked enough times to avoid that.  But I could be wrong.

I deserve to relax now.  Hope there is no blowback.
