I don't want to sound like a sore looser, since I applied but was not selected  as a finalist. However, I am not very comfortable with the geographic distribution of the funding. The State of New York got four out of twelve awards. Mass. got 2, Philadelphia got 1, Maryland got 1,  Illinois got 2, Virginia got 1 and California got 1 award. I am certain that all these applicants are deserving. However, by my calculations, the northeastern part of the country got the bulk of the awards. Some of the poorest immigrant communities in the country, located along the US  Mexico border got nothing. What do you all think, 

Andres
