The amount involved will just about give a student a reasonable amount of 
money to cover the basic cost of living. Others are very unlikely to be 
able to get by on that small an amount.

Also students have an excuse not to have a job. :)

I know exactly what it's like to work on Free Software projects of one 
type or another to the exclusion of being able to work for others. I am 
not unsymathetic to the issue however UKFSN only has a limited amount of 
money for this. If it is to be used to pay people a decent wage otherwise 
I think I should be 1st in the queue.
