At US$5,000 funding per student, this represents an investment of 
US$40,000 into Boost by Google this year, for which we are extremely 
grateful. Our thanks to everyone in Google who makes this happen 
every year.

With so few slots available from Google some very good candidates and 
proposals could not be selected, so if you were not selected this 
year, better luck next year (remember to come early!). 
Congratulations to the students who did make it, and our collective 
thanks go to the primary mentors above for taking the time this 
summer, as well to the secondary mentors not listed above as well as 
everyone who helped out with the proposal review and the ranking and 
voting this year.

Niall & Boris
