Now that both ESUG and Pharo have been rejected two years in a row, maybe it is time to think about ways to revive, or re-promote, the ESUG initiatives to sponsor student projects.

Thank you for submitting Pharo Consortium's application to Google Summer of Code 2015. Unfortunately, we were unable to accept your organization's application at this time. Every year we receive many more applications than we are able to accommodate, and we would encourage you to reapply for future instances of the program.
If you would like some general feedback on why your organization was not accepted, please consider attending the IRC meeting in #gsoc on Freenode on Friday, 6 March, 2015 at 16:00 UTC. Please note that the feedback meeting will be limited to the first 50 organizations to queue up (queuing in the channel will begin at 15:30 UTC). You are also more than welcome to just email the OSPO team at ospoteam@gmail.com directly for email feedback about your application as well.
