In theory, two students could work together on a single project.   
However, in practice there would need to be a clear delineation (in  
advance) of what each student would contribute, so that we can  
determine whether either student individually succeeds and gets paid.   
Also, at the initial submission stage, there is no guarantee that if  
one student gets a place, the other will as well.  So there would need  
to be a contingency plan for what each student would do in the absence  
of the other.
