SCHOLARSHIPS

FAU’s internal deadline is Oct. 3, 2005. Further information about FAU’s selection process is online. Web site: http://www.iie.org/fulbright
Gates/Cambridge Scholarship: Scholars are expected to become leaders in helping to address global problems related to health, equity, technology, and learning. The selectors seek ‘great leaders who will change the world’ and not someone simply wishing to round out their education. The program offers a substantial number of scholarships for study as an affiliated student or to pursue courses of postgraduate study at the University of Cambridge. Students must have or expect to attain an honors bachelor degree or its equivalent and apply and must be independently accepted to Cambridge. Deadline October 15. No university nomination is required. Web site: http://www.gates.scholarships.cam.ac.uk
Truman Scholarship: $30,000 merit-based grant awarded to undergraduate juniors who wish to obtain financial support to attend graduate or professional school in preparation for careers in government, the non-profit sector or elsewhere in public service. The Foundation seeks candidates who have extensive records of public and community service, are committed to careers in government or elsewhere in public service, and have outstanding leadership potential and communication skills. Students need not major only in political science: applicants majoring in pre-med, arts, engineering, math, economics etc. are welcome as well. Financial need is not a consideration. Beginning with the class of 2005, the Foundation has instituted a new service requirement. All Scholars are required to work in public service for three of the seven years following completion of a Foundation funded graduate degree program as a condition of receiving Truman funds. Must be nominated by faculty representative. The Truman Application consists of an Institutional Nomination form and letter, three additional letters of recommendation, a recent transcript, a 15-question application, and a policy proposal.

Morris Udall Scholarship: The Foundation awards 80 scholarships per year to outstanding students, and 50 Honorable Mention awards of $350 are also given out. The awards are made on the basis of merit to two groups of students: (1) College sophomores or juniors in the current academic year who have outstanding potential, and who study the environment and related fields; and (2) Native American and Alaska Native students who are college sophomores or juniors in the current academic year, have outstanding potential, and are in fields related to health care or tribal public policy. Two-year and four-year institutions are eligible to nominate a total of six students from either or both categories, although it is recommended that the total be equally divided between them. To be considered, a student must be nominated by his or her college or university using the official nomination materials provided to each institution. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Each scholar receives up to $5,000, or the cost of tuition, fees, books, and room and board, whichever is less. Scholarship recipients are eligible for one year of scholarship support per application year. Scholars selected during their sophomore year may be re-nominated during the next year’s competition. Junior nominees may not be re-nominated. Freshmen and seniors are not eligible. There is no minimum GPA, but the average of recipients is 3.7. Some successful applicants had a GPA of 2.9. Apply through faculty representative. Web site: http://www.udall.gov J
