Athens Scholarships in Greece

ASCSA Scholarships

Have you always been fascinated with the old Greek culture? Have you always wanted to study abroad in Greece? Then the American School of Classical Studies at Athens Scholarship program can help you get a degree in something you always loved. This college has advanced study of all aspects of Greek culture, from the distant past to the present day. The ASCSA is a teaching college which plays a pivotal role in the circulation of information of Greek history and archaeology since they are very active in Greek archaeological exploration.

If the American School of Classical Studies at Athens sounds appealing, let’s take a closer look at their study abroad scholarships. These ASCSA scholarships are very valuable, and should be considered by all students attending the school or the summer study/seminar program. These Athens scholarships are applied for through the school, and awarded directly by the school. Note that for many ASCSA scholarships, you do not have to be attending the ASCSA School directly, but can be enrolled in an institution that is a cooperating institution of the ASCSA.

The open scholarships that are available at ASCSA includes (five) scholarships, which are typically only available to graduate students who are enrolling in programs of study that include the Greek or Latin Language, or Greek or Latin Literature, history, philosophy. Studies in classical art and archaeology are also considered. These awards cover all fees.

Other Athens scholarships available through the American School of Classical Studies at Athens include the Charles M. Edwards Scholarship, the Rea Silvia Borza Scholarship, the Katherine Keene Scholarship, the ASCSA Alumni Association Scholarship, and the Antony and Isabelle Raubitschek Scholarship.

The Charles M. Edwards Scholarship is awarded to one student who is considered by the scholarship committee to be outstanding and exceptional, and is only awarded in an amount of $500.

The Rea Silvia Borza Scholarship is awarded in the amount of $1500. It is only awarded to a high school teacher of art, literature, history, or another field of study that fits in well with the American School of Classical Studies. It is important to note that teachers of public schools will always be given preference for this particular scholarship award.

The Katherine Keene Scholarship is available for one public high school teacher and covers all fees. It is designated for a teacher of social studies who shows interest and promise in the classics, as they are taught through the ASCSA, as long as that teacher includes those interests in the curriculum that they teach.

The ASCSA Alumni Association Scholarship covers all fees, and the Antony and Isabelle Raubitschek Scholarship awards $1500.

Additional scholarships that are awarded by other organizations, which can be applied for through the same website, and which do apply for the same courses of study include the Semple Award of the Classical Association of the Middle West and South, in the amount of $3500, the Arthur Patch McKinlay Scholarships of the American Classical League, in the amount of $1500, the Eta Sigma Phi Summer Scholarship for the ASCSA, in the amount of $1930, the New York Classical Club Rome/Athens Summer Scholarships, in the amount of $4500, the CANE Endowment Scholarship, in the amount of $5100, the E. Adelaide Hahn Scholarship of the Classical Association of the Atlantic States, in the amount of $6000, and the Fulbright Teacher Exchange Scholarship, in the amount of $3860, plus additional airfare and other related expenses.

Note that for the ASCSA in Greece scholarships that are not administered directly by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens Scholarships program, you must make your application to the organization that manages the scholarship that you are applying for, and to the ASCSA as well.

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.

Google Scholarship and GooglePlex

GooglePlex Scholarships

If you apply for and win one of the many lucrative Google Scholarships, there is more at stake than just the attractive Google scholarship award amounts that will be issued to help pay for your higher education, you will also be invited to the annual GooglePlex Retreat during your award year. The latest GooglePlex Retreat for 2010 is called Google Fuse and will be held July 15–17 in New York, NY.

Google Fuse exists for the purpose of bringing college aged computer scientists together for very effective and important networking opportunities. The retreat takes place each year at the famous GooglePlex in Mountain View, California. Typically, students apply to attend this important event, and only a handful of applicants are accepted. However, as a Google scholarship winner, you will be automatically invited to the GooglePlex retreat and all of your expenses will be paid, as a part of your Google college scholarship award.

Google Scholarships that are available include numerous Google Anita Borg Scholarship for the United States, the Middle East, Canada, Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and Europe, the Google AISES Scholarship – in partnership with the American Indian Science and Engineering Society, the Google Europe Scholarship for Students with Disabilities, the Google Hispanic College Fund Scholarship, the Google Lime Scholarship for Students with Disabilities, the Google United Negro College Fund Scholarship, and the Google Zawadi Africa Scholarship. While the amounts of these scholarships may vary from program to program, the majority of the scholarships from Google are worth up to $10,000 each – which will go a long way towards getting a higher education paid for.

There are also Google Scholarships for Conference Travel Expense, although these scholarships do not make you automatically eligible for the Google Retreat. These travel scholarships pay the travel and boarding expenses for specific conferences, which include the Google Global Community Scholarship for the Grace Hopper Conference, the Google Travel Scholarship for the AISES National Conference and the Google Women of Color Scholarship for the Grace Hopper Conference.

The GooglePlex Retreat, or Google Fuse (the latest retreat), allows students to form networks that will allow them to share research information, academic information, and industry information and opportunities for many years. This retreat also allows those who are employed by Google to connect with the future generation of computer scientists, to impart important industry information to them, and to see what the future generation has to offer as well. Students are also able to further explore career opportunities in the field of computer science.

While the GooglePlex retreat is usually held in Mountain View, California, it can also be held in New York City, New York. The retreat can last as little as two days and approximately fifty students will win an invitation to the retreat – other than the Google college scholarship winners, who are automatically invited. The length of time, the number of attendees, and the location of the event can vary from year to year. For more information on the GooglePlex Retreat go to 2010 Google Fuse. Remember that even if you did not win any of the Google Scholarships, you can still apply to attend the Google Plex Retreat, although you may be responsible for paying the expenses of attending yourself.

John Carey Accounting Scholarship for Graduate Students

Monday, January 11th, 2010
Accounting Scholarship for Graduate Students

John Carey Accounting Scholarship

The John L Carey accounting scholarship is available for graduate students who are enrolled in programs of study that will bring them into the accounting field. Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in 1969, the CPA accounting scholarship was created in honor of John L Carey, who was instrumental in the success and continuity of the organization.

There are certain requirements that must be met in order to be eligible for the John Carey graduate accounting scholarships. They are only offered to graduate students who already hold degrees in liberal arts, or to students who have degrees in a non-business field. There is a great deal of competition for these accounting scholarships, as only ten are awarded each year.

While you will not be required to enter the field of accounting upon graduation, it is important to note that when the award winners are selected, that selection is based on the probability that you will become a CPA, and the eligibility requirements also require you to be enrolled in a graduate accounting program. Additionally, the graduate program that you are enrolling in must be accredited by ACBSP or AACSP International. If you have already started your graduate accounting program, you are not eligible for these accounting scholarships.

You must be pursuing CPA certification, be a full time graduate student, and a United States Citizen to be eligible. Eligible non-citizens can also apply. In order to be an eligible non-citizen of the United States, you must hold a green card. It is also vital that you understand that in order to be eligible for the John L Carey scholarships for accounting that you can not have completed more than twelve semester hours in accounting or business courses while obtaining your under graduate degree.

If you are awarded a coveted Carey scholarship, you will receive $5000, which will typically be sent directly to your school for disbursement. The John Carey scholarship in accounting is considered to be renewable, so if you have satisfactory academic performance, and you will be obtaining another year of graduate study in the appropriate field, you can be awarded an additional $5000 for that second year.

Your application must be postmarked by April 1st, without exception. Once your application is received, a committee will review it, and will choose the ten winners who have shown the best academic achievement. Leadership qualities are also considered, as is the probability that you will enter the accounting field upon finishing your education. Winners are typically notified by August.

Again, the competition is stiff for these limited awards, but if you meet the requirements for eligibility, you definitely need to apply for this accounting scholarship. $5000 goes a long way towards helping to pay for an education, and these are funds that do not have to be repaid. Applications for this AICPA scholarship are available at their website.

Finally, even if you meet all of the eligibility requirements for the John Carey Scholarships in accounting, if you are an employee or member of the AICPA, or a family member of a staff member or employee, you are not eligible for the AICPA scholarship for accounting students.

 Library Scholarship

ALA Scholarship

If you are a graduate student, and pursuing a Master’s degree in library and information studies, you will want to apply for the American Library Association ALA Scholarship Program. Each year, there is approximately $300,000 available for the ALA scholarships that will be given to these graduate students.

The first thing that you need to know about the ALA library scholarship program, however is that it is only available to you if you meet all other requirements, and you are enrolled in an ALA-accredited master’s program. These programs are available at 57 Universities located in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Typically, you will be eligible for the library scholarship if you are enrolled at an approved school working towards a Master of Library Science Degree, a Master of Arts Degree, a Master of Science Degree, a Master of Library and Information Studies Degree, or of course a Master of Librarianship Degree.

Because you may meet the eligibility requirements for more than one library scholarship that is a part of the American Library Association ALA Scholarship Program, the application that you fill out on the ALA website allows you to check the librarian scholarships that you want to apply for, and then to do so with the one application process, instead of multiple application processes.

Aeronautic NASA Scholarship for Aeronautical Engineering Programs

NASA Scholarships

If you are currently enrolled in college, in an Aeronautical Engineering Program, or you soon intend to be, you should consider and research the Aeronautics NASA Scholarship Program to help pay for your education. Among all NASA scholarships that are awarded for specific fields of study, these types of NASA Aeronautics scholarships award the highest amount of funds to help pay for the expense of the education that you are receiving. They are the best scholarships in terms of monetary stipend.

Each year, the NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate awards Aeronautics NASA Scholarships to five graduate students, and 20 undergraduate students who are studying in the field of aeronautics or fields that relate to aeronautics. If you are an undergraduate in your second year of school, you can receive up to $15,000 for the next two years of your education, as well as an internship for the summer, which comes with a $10,000 NASA stipend.

Graduate students receive a $35,000 stipend, $11,000 for three years, and have the advantage of two summers of internship at NASA, with each internship period paying $10,000, for a total of $20,000. This means that in total, for undergraduate students, the total scholarship is approximately $40,000, and for graduate students, the total NASA scholarship award is approximately $88,000. These funds can be used for any expenses related to your education.

If you are not currently enrolled in an aeronautics program of study, you can still apply for these aeronautical scholarships. If you win a aeronautics scholarship, you must be admitted to an approved field of study by the fall after you win the award. You must also be attending a school accredited in the United States and be a citizen of the United States. The student must also show that there is a financial need in order to be considered, and must continue to prove this need each semester. You must also take the GRE exam, and have your scores submitted with your application.

Fields of study that are approved for the Aeronautics NASA Scholarships include electrical, energy and electronic fields, Aeronautical and Aerospace fields, and Engineering fields that include chemical engineering, computer engineering, civil engineering, materials engineering, systems engineering, industrial engineering, engineering science, and engineering mechanics, and studies in the fields of metallurgical and polymer. Computer science and physics under the mathematics field will also be considered.

A student who wins this award can opt not to participate in the summer internships if they so choose, however, if this is the choice that they make, they will not be eligible for the $10,000 stipend for those internships. Applications must be received between September and January, and awards are announced in April for the following fall semester, and all applications must be submitted online – hard copies are not accepted.

Aeronautics is a very exciting and lucrative field, but the cost of the education required for this field is very expensive. You should definitely apply for the Aeronautics NASA Scholarship as well as any other college scholarships that you are eligible for to help with these costs. Of course, the added opportunity to work for NASA at the NASA Center is also something to consider and is a ‘one of a kind’ experience that cannot be duplicated anywhere else.
