I just logged into https://ndseg.asee.org/award/ and got a message that I won! I don't actually believe it, though, because It says I need to respond by April 12th (tomorrow), and I haven't gotten an email. Other people should check, maybe everyone has this message.
Replying to the OP's original question:
My husband and I own a home near where we currently work, but I will be starting my PhD next year most likely at a school that is 3 hours away. Because he has a good job and I intend to get another job where we currently are located (we're both aero engineers near a good hub for our field), he will be staying here while I go to school. Our plan is for me to rent a room near my university where I will live during the week, and since 3 hours really isn't that far I will be driving home during the weekends. So really we're only pseudo-long-distance, but to even do that I decided to forgo applying to any schools that were even further away.
