Yeah, I'd rather the money were spent for a scholarship than for a 
travel mug. I don't need any more travel mugs. Thanks for making this

On the other hand, Talis may consider it money better spent to put a mug 
with their logo into it into each participants hands, than a 
scholarship. Certainly up to them how they spend their sponsorship 
money, but since they're asking us...
