*It may come as no surprise that these two individuals were “super sponsors” this year. Dr Bruce Korf sponsored no fewer than 10 applicants, and Dr Charles Epstein came in second with 5 sponsorships!

#Vickie L. Venne, MS, not only sponsored two individuals this year, but wrote the most compelling and enthusiastic letters of support. It is wonderful to hear about the unique qualities of our applicants and the letters of support are carefully reviewed.
