Google Anita Borg Scholarship for Female Students

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010
Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship

Google Anita Borg Scholarship

If you are a female, Google might help you pay for your college education. While Google has many different Google Scholarships available, the Google scholarship that benefits female students the most is the Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship. The Anita Borg Scholarship for female students exists for the purpose of helping women who want to pursue an education and a career in the field of computer science or technology.

The Google Anita Borg Scholarship is available to students in the United States, as well as Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Europe, and the Middle East. Female students in these different countries are not competing for the Google scholarships with students from other countries. Instead, there is a separate Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship for each of these individual countries, and each has its own set of eligibility rules.

For example, the United States Anita Borg Scholarship requires students to be female, to be entering the senior year of an undergraduate program of study or to be a graduate student, to be enrolled in a computer science program, a computer engineering program, or to a technology related program of study, to be a full time student, and to have and maintain a 3.5 GPA. Additionally, you must be a citizen of the United States, a permanent resident of the United States, or an international student attending school in the United States in order to be eligible. You can apply if you have already applied in the past, even if you were a finalist.

This Borg scholarship award is worth $10,000, and it includes an all-expenses-paid invitation to the retreat that is held each year at the GooglePlex in Mountain View, California. The winners are chosen based on their academic background and leadership abilities.

The eligibility requirements are the same for every country that is represented by the Google Anita Borg Scholarship, with the exception that you must be attending a school in that specific country, and you must be a resident or citizen of that country.

It is important to realize that this particular Google scholarship for female students is not available for first year students, or any student who does not have at least senior status in an undergraduate program. However, there is an Anita Borg Google First Years Scholarship available that could help you.

The First Years scholarship program is designed for students who are currently high school seniors, about to enter their first year of college. Winners are selected based on their academic background, their community service, their leadership abilities, and their level of interest in computer science. The award amount is $10,000, and these students will also be invited to the GooglePlex retreat. The application process for this Google Anita Borg scholarship is a bit longer, requiring multiple essays and letters of reference – which shouldn’t be any surprise, or any bother considering the size of the award. Although no set number of winners has been announced, Google makes multiple awards of all of the Anita Borg Memorial Scholarships, with each winner being awarded $10,000. Because of the high amount, this Google scholarship is not renewable, and if you win the Borg scholarship for female students, you cannot reapply.

The Bank of America Joe Martin Scholarship Program is only available to those students who are undergraduates.

The student must also be under the age of 23, be a high school senior or a graduate of a high school, and must either be enrolled or plan to be enrolled in an accredited two year or four year school.

Barry Goldwater Scholarship Program

Thursday, December 17th, 2009
Barry Goldwater Scholarship

Barry Goldwater Scholarship

The Barry Goldwater Scholarship Program supports college juniors and seniors to pursue a career in mathematics, natural sciences and engineering. The program recognizes scholars – applicants that are nominated by the college or university officially – and rewards them for the excellence achieved. The objective is to get highly qualified mathematicians, scientists and engineers in the respective field of study. The awards are categorized into two groups – college juniors and college seniors and each institute can nominate two (2) students for 2 year course and four (4) students for 4 year course.

 

The Barry M Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program was authorized by the US Congress in 1986 as a tribute to Senator Barry M Goldwater. The foundation is supported by the memorial scholarship fund which is established in the Treasury of the United States. All the funding for the annual awards is derived from this Trust fund.

The candidates are nominated only by the college or university and the nomination is done by the faculty representative chosen by the institute and the Foundation. Annually the foundation invites eligible accredited US institutions to nominate candidates for the two groups – Two current sophomores for the two year courses and four current sophomores or juniors for the four year degree.

The Goldwater scholarship application is done electronically online and is open from September and can be done from the foundation’s website. The entire process consists of two steps involving institute nomination and nominee application. Keep in mind that if the first step of institutional nomination is not done the application is not even considered. Once the application is submitted supporting documents are to be mailed to the Foundation as well.

Each Goldwater scholarship covers educational expenses up to $7,500 annually and each year the foundation awards 300 such scholarships. Each state in the US is awarded certain Goldwater scholarships based on the number and qualification of application from the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and, considered as a single entity, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

The deadline for submission of the application by the Faculty representative is January 29 and the deadline for providing all the necessary documentation to support the application is February 01. The selection process of the Goldwater scholarships involves Initial evaluation done by independent review committee – appointed by the Foundation and this committee recommends the most outstanding nominees from each state. Final selection is done by the Board of Trustees and the same is informed to the institute and the scholar by March.

Mathematics, Science and Engineering – the three areas that have impacted human life the most and will do so in the future as well is fully supported through the Barry Goldwater Scholarship Program. This ensures that regular study and research is continued in these areas and thus the Barry Goldwater Scholarship was introduced. The scholars have won various other awards including Marshall Awards and many more. The Goldwater scholarship has not only rewarded outstanding scholars that have made their mark in the respective field of study but also motivated various others to select these areas for research and development.

James Hoffa Memorial Scholarship by the Teamsters

Friday, November 6th, 2009
James Hoffa Memorial Scholarship

James Hoffa Memorial Scholarship

If one of your parents is a member of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Union, you may be eligible for the James Hoffa Scholarship. However, there are other requirements that must also be met, and even if you meet those requirements, you may still not be selected for this Hoffa Memorial scholarship, as there is stiff competition. This doesn’t, however mean that you shouldn’t apply if you are eligible. November through March 31st are when you can apply.

The Hoffa scholarship was established as a memorial in honor of James R Hoffa who was the Teamsters president for fourteen years. He began his Teamsters service in 1934 and was highly regarded in the Teamsters union as an acomplished leader who was known for his skillfull ability to carry out the Teamsters agenda.

The James Hoffa Scholarship has been available to the children of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union members since 1999. While the number of scholarships available each year varies, the average number available is about 100, and the applicants must live in one of the five regions where the union is located. Scholarship amounts total $10,000 or $1000. The $10,000 scholarship is paid out at $2500 per year, for four years, and the funds are paid directly to the college or university.

The requirements for the James Hoffa Memorial Scholarship sound simple enough – you must have a parent who is a member of the union, you must be in the top fifteen percent of your class, you must have great SAT or ACT scores, and you must have a financial need. However, there are other considerations that the committee that chooses the winners takes into account, such as the students overall character.

Students who win this Teamsters scholarship must attend a four year school in the United States or Canada, and the school must be accredited. The student may not attend a school that does not charge tuition. Military academies often do not charge any tuition. It is also important to note that if you win a $10,000 scholarship from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the scholarship will only be paid out annually if you meet ongoing criteria.

You must either meet the academic requirements of your school for Teamster scholarship winners, or maintain a 3.00 grade average to continue receiving the Hoffa scholarship funds. Furthermore, if your qualifying parent leaves the union, or fails to pay their union dues while you are still attending school, you will forfeit the Hoffa Memorial Scholarship. These things are verified each year during the four year period.

If you win the James Hoffa scholarship, and you are then unable to attend school, you must have certification from a doctor, and your Teamsters scholarship will be held for you – but not for more than a year. The only exception to this is if you are serving in the military, and you are unable to attend school due to your military obligations. In this case, the scholarship will be held for up to two years, unless there is war, in which case the union scholarship will be held for the winner serving his or her country for a longer period of time.

Although the competition for the James Hoffa Memorial Scholarship is stiff, if you meet the eligibility requirements, you should definitely apply. The application process is the same for both Teamsters scholarship awards – $10,000 and $1000 – and as you know, when it comes to paying for your education, or your child’s education, every little bit helps.

The Steven Phillips Scholarship

Friday, September 25th, 2009
The Stephen Phillips Scholarship

The Stephen Phillips Scholarship

The Steven Phillips Scholarship was created in the memory of; you guessed it, Steven Phillips. Steven Phillips descended from a ‘well to do’ Salem, Massachusetts’s family that shared a respected interest in politics and education. Steven Phillips was a very compassionate man who took an honest interest in all whom he meant. His widow Bessie Wright Phillips established the Stephen Phillips Memorial Scholarship in his memory.

The whole purpose of the Stephen Phillips Scholarship was to assist those students attending college that were in danger of being overcome with financial woes. Typically this scholarship gives away anywhere from $3000 to $10,000 annually. The great part is this award can be renewed. As long as the student maintains a 2.5 GPA and their financial situation do not sway drastically they can receive the award through four undergraduate years. The money does have to be paid directly to the school and be applied only towards tuition. As long as the student is a high school senior preparing to enter college or a returning university student at a U.S. accredited institution than they are eligible. These awards are only used for undergraduate study.

In addition, only students that are permanent residents of Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine and Connecticut may apply for the Phillips Memorial Scholarship. They can be attending any accredited school in the country but they must be permanent residents of New England. The only downside is that preference will be shown to students from the Salem or North Boston area. However, all others eligible are encouraged to apply and are always considered for a Phillips Scholarship.

The criterion to apply for the Steven Phillips Scholarship is quite common. You must be a U.S. Citizen or Resident Alien. Must be a permanent resident of New England. You should also have a GPA of 3.0 or higher when you apply. Your course of study should be demanding and you should present skilled writing ability. Character is also important in the decision making process. The applicant should have a positive view and desire to enhance society. Student should be involved in school, work and community activities. The student should be a goal setter that knows what they want and how they intend to get there.

A student that is willing to work part-time to assist with their college expenses will be well perceived. Students must present financial need due to heavy student loans or other special financial situations. They should have a low EFC or expected family contribution listed on their financial aid report.

The deadline date for the Phillips Scholarship is April 1st. This year there were 145 recipients. A total of 390 scholarships were renewed. For those who missed entry this year they are encouraged to apply before April 1st for the next round of awards. These $3000 to $10,000 scholarships can be yours if you are a U.S. Citizen or Resident Alien, are a permanent resident of New England, have financial need and carry a 3.0 GPA or better. If you have great character and undeniable drive and determination you could be the next Stephen Phillips Memorial Scholarship recipient.

Harry S Truman Scholarship Foundation Picks Future Leaders

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009
Harry S Truman Scholarship

Harry S Truman Scholarship

The Harry S Truman Scholarship was created in 1975 by the US Congress in honor of the 33rd president. The Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation manages the Truman Scholarship. Since the Foundation is an independent federal executive branch Agency, the Truman Scholarship is a federal scholarship. Congress decided that The Harry Truman Scholarship will be the official Federal memorial to President Truman instead of a statue.

The sole purpose of the Truman Scholarship is to discover and award future leaders by empowering them with the Truman Scholarship Program so their accomplishments can be accelerated. The Truman Foundation believes this will also have a greater impact on the rest of our society and for the better. Truman scholars desire to change the world for the better, but they all may have a different way of doing this, such as becoming a Senator or Congressman/woman who want to help people by getting those things done in government. A Truman scholar may also accomplish this by becoming a school president and lead by example which may positively influence every student & teacher who passes through the University. There is no one way that a Truman scholar is supposed to lead & spread their influence, they just do and their impact is felt by many. The Truman Scholarship helps make this much more possible for the Truman scholar.

Harry S Truman Scholarship Foundation Guidelines & Criteria

  1. Awarded to College Juniors only.
  2. Approximately (70) Truman Scholarships are awarded annually.
  3. Currently Truman scholars receive $30,000 for (3) years of graduate education strictly for a career in public service.
  4. Truman Scholars have the benefit of the Truman Scholars Association to network with past Truman scholarship winners.
  5. Must be of service on campus as well as in the community.
  6. Must be committed to a career in public service such as in government, uniformed public service, public research &education, or public interest or advocacy organizations.
  7. Must have good communication skills and the ability to easily bring about change for the betterment of all.
  8. Must have the academic ability to be accepted & excel in graduate school.
  9. Truman Scholars must have all skills necessary & desire to bring about positive changes in communities everywhere for the good of all people.
  10. Truman Scholarship written applications are required at Universities along with personal interviews who will then select up to (4) candidates ((3) transfer students can be selected too).

Going into public service does have its challenges but the rewards far out way them. Public service is not for everyone, but reserved for those who really do want to make a better difference in our world today, and are willing to fight some really tough battles along the way for change which the majority will ultimately benefit from. You must have personal qualities that are multifaceted and the desire & drive to put those qualities in action on the playing field of life. A Harry S Truman Scholarship is one way to fast start those unique talents into action. Does this sound like you?
