In this scenario, you are in charge of a foundation that makes a $5,000 award to talented college students. Two students who show equal promise in their field of study are in the final round of competition for the foundation's annual award.
One of the candidates (Student A) is a Social Services major. He wishes to use the money on operating a soup kitchen. According to his calculations, the award money would allow him to feed approximately 30 persons for free on a weekly basis during the twelve months for which he is requesting funding.
Another student (Student B) is a Biomedical Engineering major. She recently stumbled upon an important discovery for a cancer cure. She applied for money to cover her tuition for an expensive course in genetics.
