It would seem only fair that, if the LUG were to undertake
establishing some sort of scholarship fund, that more than one
"student" would have a chance at it. Something doesn't feel quite
correct in having only one nominee for this proposed scholarship
fund. The same might be said for the destination of the
"photographer". I'd suggest that if such a fund begin that it be
open to folks who can show:
1) Financial Need
2) A Proven Skill / Track Record
3) A passion for "their own" Photojournalistic Concept
And then the LUG distributes the funds to:
1) The Best Idea
2) Showing the most skill
3) With the greatest need
