Ok, We're almost done, through a day or two of reading all your essays; we've narrowed it down to FIVE count em FIVE finalists. We thank everyone who applied, and we're sorry you didn’t make the running if you don’t see your picture here. However, we took the 10 highest GPA's and their essays were the first deciding factor. All the applicants wrote decent essays with the exception of one girl who just e-mailed us a picture of her chest and a e-mail saying "pick me". We'll be judging pictures within the next day and the winner will be announced Sunday.

And don’t worry; our judging was extensive and fair. My mom even judged and she says you’re all hot! A VERY BIG THANKS goes out to Spardello's clothiers of Rhode Island. They helped us out a lot with bumping up to 500 bucks! Visit their site at www.spardellos.com and buy EVERYTHING! We're giving away some more gift certificates on sunday as well.

Don’t worry for those of you who didn’t make it. We’re PROBABLLY going to do the scholarship again next year round this time. Just keep listening to DFC (DownForTheCount) on Sunday nights next semester on 88.3fm WQRI and Myself and Juice will be working on the public access version of DownForTheCount, with any luck will be on this fall.

Also Juice will be competing in the "Regional Dirt Bike Finals For People With Bigger Mustaches Than The Guy From The Darkness" (the RDBFFPWBMTTGFTD's). So wish him luck!

Thanks a bunch, and tell us whatcha think on the Guestbook!

P.S. One of the finalists has yet to give her OK on the posting of the pic. But we'll get to that. ALSO if you're NOT in the top 5 and want your pic on the site as part of an aplicants page. E-mail hotrischolarship@hotmail.com and give us the OK and preference on what pic you want up.

DISCLAIMER: All pics that appear on this site are the sole property of DFC and the people at The RI Hot Scholarship. So please dont go printing them out and trading them like Pokemon cards. Unless you have that awesome Pikachu card with the lightning, man i'll trade them all for that! But serioussly, these girls are people, and SMART people at that, so dont misuse the pictures.
