themselves, they can call me, Chuck Baldwin, at (574) 306-7329 and I will be happy to fill the form out for them as they respond to questions over the phone. Following an established priority protocol,
<span style="color:black;background:yellow">stipends will be given first-come, first-served. So please don't wait until the
