Sponsors and members of the Dutch in DCI Foundation
raised the money in less than the six months the organization has been
in existence. They see this as a great first step toward the permanent
support the Dutch in DCI Foundation seeks to offer. A selection
committee decided on three applicants for the $300 scholarships:
