Dear
Friend,
Part
of
my
focus
in
Congress
has
been
promoting
the
importance
of
science,
technology,
engineering,
and
math
(STEM)
education
for
our
nation's
long-term
economic
competitiveness.
Explained
below
are
two
different
opportunities
for
local
high-school
students,
the
first
allows
them
to
showcase
their
tech
imaginations
and
the
second
regards
the
fast-approaching
college
financial-aid
deadlines.
House
App
Contest
Interested
in
creating
your
own
software
application?
Students
in
the
52nd
District
have
the
opportunity
to
compete
to
create
the
best
app,
as
judged
by
a
panel
of
local
technology
and
innovation
leaders.
The
winner
will
have
their
app
idea
featured
on
my
website
and
on
display
in
the
U.S.
Capitol
Building
in
Washington,
D.C.
To
enter
the
competition
students
must
submit
their
app's
source
code
online
during
the
competition
submission
period,
which
began
February
1st
and
runs
through
April
30,
2014.

----
Free
Application
for
Federal
Student
Aid
(FAFSA)
The
college
application
process
can
be
daunting,
and
figuring
out
financial
aid
options
is
often
overwhelming.
If
you
have
questions
about
your
FAFSA
application
process
my
office
will
work
to
answer
them
and
provide
you
with
important
information
on
the
process.
The
federal
deadline
for
completing
the
FAFSA
is
June
30,
but
many
states
and
schools
have
earlier
deadlines
-
some
as
early
as
this
month,
and
many
next
month.
Stay
Connected
I
hope
you'll
stay
connected
with
what
I'm
working
on.

One
of
the
most
important
jobs
I
have
in
Congress
is
providing
a
number
of
constituent
services.
As
always,
if
you
have
any
questions,
are
having
trouble
with
a
federal
agency,
or

on
a
particular
issue,
