Northlake Mandeville Rotary Club bestows scholarships

"Sunday with Scholars" honored 2016 Northlake Mandeville Rotary Club scholarship recipients Samantha Santiago and Michael Rodehorst at Beau Chene Country Club on April 24. Samantha, a Fontainebleau High School senior in the top one-percent of her class, will attend Louisiana Tech University with plans to major in Cyber Engineering. Michael, a Lakeshore High School senior at the top of his class, will attend Louisiana State University and will major in Chemical Engineering. In addition to Samantha and Michael, current Rotary scholars are Whitney Bouey, Margaret Robinson, Kari Ousterhout, Serena Sossi, Alissa Keegan and Kylee Pitre.

The 18th annual scholarship banquet featured piano music by Richard Moore while guests sipped cocktails and sampled hors d'oeuvres. Delicious culinary offerings on a bountiful buffet were followed by decadent desserts, and a silent auction with many desired items tempted guests to pencil in bids.

Scholarship Chairman John Caulking said that the program has been a huge success for 18 years.

"It is a pure charity," he said. "One-hundred percent goes to fund the scholarships and to hold fundraisers. There are no paid employees and no expenses. It is the most cost effective and efficient charity." 

Caulking recognized John Bryan for "a decade of service," and also acknowledged founders Laura Mitchell and Jean and Rusty Sexton.

Rotary Scholarship Honorary Chairpersons are Rusty and Jean Sexton and Sam and Judith Camp, and planning committee members are Steve Saux, Jay Capouch, Debbie Stuart, Russell Penzato, Edward Goodwin, Kathy Smith, Larry Burch, Sandra Gibson, Tiffany Alton, Evans Spiceland, Tom Quinn, Boyd McPhail, Buddy Hall, Bill Allin, Bret Kolman and Dr. Leanne Truehart.

Rotary provides two four-year $12,000 scholarships ($1,500 per semester). Scholarships are given to those for whom the scholarship will have the greatest impact and who have academic ability, do community service and have a financial need.  Over the last 18 years, Rotary has awarded 34 students more than $300,000.  For more information about becoming a member of Rotary or donating to the scholarship program, call Scholarship Chairman John Caulking at 845.4765, or go online to: www.mandevillerotary.org.

Lone Star College-Montgomery dual credit student selected for prestigious Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Scholarship

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has big plans for Lone Star College-Montgomery dual credit student Fabian Fernandez-Han.

The Foundation has selected him as a 2016 Gates Millennium Scholar (GMS) based on his academic achievement, leadership skills and commitment to community service. Fernandez-Han competed against 53,000 applicants for this distinction, which fewer than two percent of applicants earn.

As a 2016 GMS, Fernandez-Han will receive a full four-year scholarship to any US-based accredited college of his choosing, mentorship from the GMS community, leadership development retreats, and even a full scholarship to attend graduate school in select disciplines. He was accepted and will attend Pomona College in California, which is ranked by Forbes magazine as the nation's top college, above Stanford, MIT and Harvard. Fernandez-Han will study economics and international relations at Pomona this fall. "I am honored, grateful and humbled to earn the trust of both the Gates Foundation and Pomona College to apply myself to the fullest to serve the greater good," said Fernandez-Han.

It is easy to see why the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation selected Fernandez-Han. The 18-year-old simultaneously completed high school and more than 80 credit hours at LSC-Montgomery, including classes with the honors college. "My teachers at LSC-Montgomery were dedicated to student success," said Fernandez-Han. "Several of my classes emphasized discussion-based learning, which promoted inquiry, discovery and debate. My psychology and philosophy professors were extraordinarily effective in opening my mind, challenging my preconceptions and provoking me to build my understanding of the human condition. The lessons I learned from them and other dedicated LSC-Montgomery professors will serve me for my entire life."

Fernandez-Han's résumé as an 18-year-old already rivals that of a successful business professional. He is the Chief Creative Officer for "Raccoon," a start-up company that connects college students to employment opportunities and internships at top firms. Last year, Raccoon was the only start-up out of 40 competitors to earn a $100,000 investment from Silicon Valley's Draper Investments, the same venture capital firm that invested in Tesla and Skype.

Fernandez-Han was one of the youngest winners of the Molecular Frontiers Inquiry Prize, considered a 'Millennial's Nobel.' He also beat out over 2,000 competitors to win the top prize and a $25,000 grant from The New York Stock Exchange for his financial literacy smartphone app. Popular Science magazine named him one of USA's top 10 high-school innovators for inventing "H2O" a bicycle-based water desalinator. Fernandez-Han presented this invention to American businessman and investor Warren Buffet who personally awarded him 10 shares of Berkshire Hathaway stock.

During his time at LSC-Montgomery, Fernandez-Han served in various leadership roles in the Student Government Association's TEAM Ambassador Program and the President's Student Advisory Council. "Fabian worked hard and fully engaged the professors and resources at LSC-Montgomery," said Dr. Rebecca Riley, president of LSC-Montgomery. "He is most deserving of all his accomplishments as well all other achievements to come. With his academic and entrepreneurial prowess, he will excel at Pomona College and beyond. He is a millennial to watch."

In his spare time, Fernandez-Han loves to travel. His family inspires him. "I have achieved what I have so far only because of the love and support from my family, friends, mentors, teachers, and allies," said Fernandez-Han. "My family risked everything to come to the United States. They started at the bottom of this country's social and economic hierarchy. So if I fail to give my very best, then I disrespect the sacrifices they made for me. There were weeks where I pulled consecutive all-nighters to achieve straight As and meet my commitment to my entrepreneurial ventures. Sometimes I would even study for exams in the shower."

In establishing the scholarship, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hopes to create a network of future leaders like Fernandez-Han who will bring a new vision and commitment to improving the world. Over time, Gates Scholars are expected to become leaders in their respective fields and together will help address global problems related to health, equity, technology, and learning – all areas in which the Foundation is deeply engaged.

Over 1,000 sit for Galaxy Int’l School’s scholarship exams

Galaxy International School has organized a scholarship examination for over one thousand students drawn from across the country with the aim of offering a range of scholarship packages to brilliant students to study in the school.

The scholarship examination which is organized yearly is part of the school's corporate social responsibility aimed at offering opportunity not only to brilliant but needy students, but all students with the zeal to pursuing their academic dreams.

This year's exam was special because it was held in the school's new ultra-modern school building. It offered a great opportunity for students, their parents and teachers to acquaint themselves with the Galaxy world.

Mr. Yusuf Temizkan, the MD of the school, had hinted during the school's science fair, that the scholarship package was meant to open doors of opportunities to brilliant students who would want to have access to the world class environment in which the school is hosted.

Esther Fummey a JHS3 student, from the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission Basic School (GAEC), who participated in the examination, said she was motivated by her parent's contribution towards her education and needed to get the scholarship to take off the burden of her parents.

She was happy to participate in the exams which she said has prepared her made to take part in any other competitive exams.

A retired civil servant, Mr. Kofi Baido, who accompanied his daughter to the venue, said that the opportunity given the students is enormous.

"They will explore your facilities, it's my daughters' first time of seeing such a glamorous school and I'm happy for her, she will never forget this experience".

Mrs. Dorothy Kwarteng-Adjei, a mathematics teacher in the school, indicated that the scholarship examination is a great opportunity for needy but brilliant students.

The examination is open to class six (6) and JHS 3 students every year. Successful students would be admitted into JHS1 and SHS1 respectively.

The next scholarship examination would be conducted at the end of the 2016-2017 academic year.

Apart from the classroom performance, the software is also used to report on the disciplined attitude of students.

"This is a unique software which we use to communicate to parents the behaviour of their children and the software also registers their class attendance" the Principal of the school, Mr. Hakan Karaman said.

Deadline approaching for Arkansas lottery-funded scholarships

By Edited news release |

Updated: Mon 7:43 AM, May 30, 2016

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Time is running out for Arkansas students to apply for a lottery scholarship.

Wednesday is the deadline, and Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Director Bishop Woosley encouraged both traditional and nontraditional students in the state to apply for Lottery-funded scholarships. The Arkansas Academic Challenge Scholarship is available through the Arkansas Department of Higher Education by applying online at Scholarships.ADHE.edu.

"At the lottery," Woosley added, "We say, 'you can't win if you don't play.' And you definitely won't get a scholarship if you don't apply for one. Just apply online. It's easy to apply – no essays required!"

The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery Act of 2009 provided for revenue raised by a state lottery to provide for college scholarships to be administered by the Arkansas Department of Higher Education. Tens of thousands of scholarships are awarded to Arkansas students across the state annually -- with the 200,000th granted in academic year 2016.

"We're proud of the opportunities we are able to provide through the funding of college scholarships," Woosley said. "Every day, I talk to students and families whose lives have been changed because of Lottery-funded scholarships. Some students wouldn't be able to go to college at all without this scholarship."

Arkansas has one of the lowest percentages of citizens with advanced degrees in the country, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Teen who won scholarship at 6 using it to become a Red Raider

When she won her first scholarship, Roosevelt High School salutatorian Savannah Shultz's friends were far more impressed that she got her picture in the Avalanche-Journal.

Of course, it was a full-page spread.

And of course, most of them probably didn't know what a scholarship was. Shultz didn't. She was only a 6-year-old at Bowie Elementary School in Lubbock.

Shultz won the Avalanche-Journal's 2004 Make Kids Count $10,000 Scholarship Contest. There were no essays or grades to worry about, it was simply a series of drawings, and Shultz's name was the final one picked.

The most exciting part of winning at the time, Shultz said, was that her parents took her for a celebratory dinner at Mr. Gatti's.

"I had no idea" what it was, she said. "I knew that $10,000 was a lot of money."

But the scholarship put college in her mind, she said. Once she understood what college is, she said she thought, "This is really a thing I can do now, with a $10,000 scholarship."

She has worked hard in school, which is evident in her status as the salutatorian. She said she and valedictorian Ethan Walker have been competing for the top spot for years.

"One semester, he was ahead, and one semester, I was ahead," Shultz said. "I ended up being second, but I've worked super-hard on it."

With a 96.88 grade point average, Shultz will enter Texas Tech with 31 hours of dual credit under her belt. As a Red Raider, she plans to study marketing.

"If you can't tell, I love to talk," Shultz said. "I'm really interested in maybe going into sports marketing."

Her family remained excited about the windfall through the years, she said. When her great-grandmother Wanda Black passed away, Shultz said she found the newspaper clipping at her house.

"She still had the clipping on her refrigerator when we went to clean her house," Shultz said.

It's because of her family's enduring excitement that the A-J learned that Shultz has been so successful. Her mother, Theresa Shultz, wrote an email to A-J publisher Brandon Hughes to thank the paper yet again for running the contest.

In an interview last week, Theresa said 12 years later, she remains very grateful.

"It was a big deal," she said.

The process of going to several drawings for the scholarship was fun, she said.

"I thought it brought the communities together," Shultz said. "Savannah still knows some of those people from the drawing."

Theresa said the scholarship is a blessing.

"We for sure knew the significance of it, even if she didn't," Theresa said."We explained to her that she had so much more opportunity."

Theresa said the scholarship will allow her daughter to live in the dorms — she said she didn't know if the could have managed tuition and dorm fees without the scholarship.

Savannah Shultz also has received scholarships from the South Plains Telephone Cooperative, South Plains Generation Texas, South Plains Electric Cooperative and the Region 17 School Board Association.

"She's one lucky, smart cookie," Theresa said of her daughter. "She was neck and neck for that valedictorian spot. She worked really, really hard. So we are very, very proud of her."

Julia Childs, the A-J's marketing director during the scholarship contest, remembers Savannah Shultz fondly, saying that she warmed her heart.

"Savannah is just one of those one-in-a-million kind of girls," Childs said. "She was just such a treat.""

Each time her name was drawn, Childs said Savannah thanked her again and again, even though it was a random chance event and not something Childs could have controlled, she said.

"She sent a Christmas card to me, and she sent the sweetest thank you note," Childs said.

Although Childs retired in 2013, she said she still has the thank you note and a picture of Savannah in her box of mementos from her time at the A-J.

OVBPW gives scholarships, installs officers

The Ohio Valley Business and Professional Women presented their annual scholarships and installed officers for a two-year term during the final meeting of the 2015-16 club season.

Marie-Helene Wilson welcomed members, guests and two of the three scholarship winners to the May 17 informal business and dinner meeting held at Froehlich's Classic Corner in Steubenville. They were seniors Aisha Liberatore of Oak Glen High School, traditional scholarship recipient, who attended with her father, John Liberatore, and Maurkesha Young of Steubenville High School, Nike Club scholarship recipient. The Nike Club is an SHS organization mentored by the OVBPW. Young attended with her mother, Susan Young.

Amelia Taggart, scholarship chairman, made the official presentations, and Wilson noted there were more than 30 applicants she described as "very impressive."

"We received some excellent applications," Wilson said, noting because of that, the selection process was an "extremely difficult" one.

Liberatore and Young expressed their appreciation for the group's generosity and shared their future education plans. Liberatore is set to attend Fairmont State University to pursue a double major in psychology and biology with an eye toward medical school in New York. Young will be off to Ohio State University to study for a nursing degree.

The club's nontraditional scholarship recipient is Jodi Goff, who earned her associate degree in accounting at Eastern Gateway Community College. She decided to further her education and change careers to nursing after witnessing the death of her grandfather. In July, Goff will graduate from Trinity School of Nursing.

Taggart said, with the support of family, Goff was able to juggle the demands of being the mother of a 3-year-old starting preschool, a full-time nursing student and a part-time employee.

Money to fund the scholarships is generated by the OVBPW's annual wine and shoe extravaganza that includes the selection of a Woman of the Year. This year's event was held April 8 at the Steubenville Country Club.

The meeting was occasion for Taggart to conduct swearing-in ceremonies for the club's officers. Sara Lane assumes the presidency with other officers including Jennifer Atchison, vice president; Wilson switching gears from president to treasurer; and Mary Lou Jones continuing as secretary.

The OVBPW holds dinner meetings May through September at 6 p.m. on the third Tuesday of the month at various locations. It connects its members with mentors, colleagues and friends for career networking and supports women through career transitions and at different levels of industry. Annual membership is $40. Its next meeting is Sept. 20 at a location to be announced.

Phone Call Interrupts Team Meeting to Tell Walk-on Student He’s Gotten a Scholarship

In the world of college sports, there are fewer things better than seeing the moment that a deserving walk-on student finds out that he/she is officially a scholarship athlete.

That's the dream come true for Duke junior Danny Doyle, who has been a walk-on defensive end for the Blue Devils. During a team gathering this week, head coach David Cutliffe interrupted his own meeting with the ringing of a cell phone — and by the reactions of his team, that's a major no-no.

"Hold on, I need to answer this one," he replies. The full football team — including the unsuspecting Doyle — sit and wait.

On the other end of the line are Doyle's parents, calling to speak with their son in front of the whole team and inform him of the good news directly. His teammates break into supportive cries immediately while the 6'1″ defense end stands stunned. The video's description reads that Doyle is, "duly rewarded for his hard work and perseverance by being made a full scholarship member of the Duke Football team."

If you don't think this is a big deal or aren't quite sure what all the fuss is about, consider this: according to CollegeData, the regular cost of attendance for Duke University is a staggering $67,399 a year including tuition and room and board. And as of this week, Danny Doyle no longer pays a dime to be a Duke student due to his new distinction.

"Go Duke!" Doyle's mother can be heard saying through the phone to Coach Cutliffe. Watch the above video from the Duke Football Youtube channel.

J.P. Hall Children’s Charities awards more than $10,000 in scholarship money

Jesse Hollett

ORANGE PARK – Students entering college are master jugglers.

In their right hand, fear, anxiety and other agents of the endless unknowns of life after high school. In their left hand, curiosity, tenacity and other virtues that open paths to the eventual graduation hat toss. Jeffery Gainer's hands are occupied now though, as he hugs the woman whose signature appears at the bottom of a scholarship he received May 19.

It's a familiar last name to the 252 Clay County students who have benefitted from the J.P. Hall Children's Charities fund. Last Thursday, however, the fund added 11 new names to the list of kids who, otherwise, might never have gone to college.

The charity has presented more than $422,000 in scholarships to underserved children since J.P. Hall Jr. founded it in the late 1970s. Four decades later, Virginia Hall now carries her father's torch, the legacy left behind to provide a path to education for those willing to work for it. Kids such as Gainer.

"We have some amazing, amazing young people," Hall told the guests at the awards celebration at the Thrasher-Horne Conference Center. "I'm blessed to have been a part of this and I want to continue to help and be a part of this. So I say thank you."

Gainer intends to use the $2,000 he received from the charity to pursue a nursing degree at the University of North Florida.

Of course, college isn't cheap. UNF also requires that a student's freshman year be spent on campus, and that's not cheap either.

UNF's average cost for its first year starts around $16,000. To that figure, $2,000 is only a drop in a much larger ocean. Gainer isn't deterred, however and intends to continue his education and become a nurse practitioner.

"I would have tried to my best to go to college and pay for it with loans, but I feel like without the scholarship it would have been really difficult," Gainer said.

There's some fear for the transition. His graduation is right around the corner and his first semester starts soon after. Gainer isn't as worried about the workload, however. He cites his already full plate for that.

Gainer, 18, has a daily schedule that would make even the most wizened senator's head spin. His days are swallowed by his constant commitment to school, his job at Sears, Beta Club, track and cross country meets and the healthcare academy at Orange Park High.

"I'm definitely a workaholic," Gainer said. "I have a lot on my plate I would say. I wouldn't say I possibly over filled by plate, it could sometimes be overwhelming, but I push myself so I know how to work around it.

Gainer's claim to be a workaholic should come to no surprise to his friends. Until senior year, they were thoroughly convinced that he was anti-social because of his reluctance to even spend time with them and instead focus on clubs, commitments and his career path.

Gainer subscribes to the maxim of 'all work and no play,' however, so in the crumbs of time he has left in the day, he relaxes and watches reality television.

Last Thursday's scholarship ceremony speeches presented from the other charity board members emphasized inspiration and determination, vital virtues to be kept in any aspiring college student's back pocket.

"Go for the dream," said Clay County Commissioner Ronnie Robinson. "If you want to be an astronaut, be an astronaut. If you wanna' climb a mountain, climb a mountain. Do what God calls you to do, while not looking back or slowing down."

Gainer's biggest inspiration comes from his parents. His experiences have shaped him into the person he is today. When his father got in a wreck during his freshmen year, he was in and out of the hospital. It was there, Gainer said, that he realized he first wanted to be a nurse.

"I like to see how nice the nurses and the doctors are," Gainer said. "It inspired me to try and help someone else out, so whenever they're in hard times they can feel good."

That was four years ago. His father escaped with only a slash-shaped scar on his head and some broken ribs that, while they still cause him trouble, are preferable to what could have happened that day.

Gainer will be the first family member to successfully complete college. His father and mother started college, but were never able to finish due to financial troubles.

"That sort of inspired me to apply for my scholarships, because it really put it into perspective – if I don't get it together, it won't happen," Gainer said.

With all of the combined horsepower of Gainer's family pushing him along, he said he calculates his chances of getting his nursing degree to about "100 percent," and has all the certainty of the world in his hands, it seems.

‘Speak from your heart!’ It's time to apply for the Black Academic Scholarship Fund

Teeanna Munro doesn't know what she would have done without the Black Academic Scholarship Fund (BASF).

"I really relied on that money — I counted on it," says Munro, who was studying English literature and women's studies at Concordia when she won the BASF 2015 Jackie Robinson Graduate Scholarship of $2,000 to help her pursue a master's degree in education.

"The fund allowed me to be less stressed about finances so I could focus. That helped me be the best I could be."

The BASF is a non-profit organization that has been active in the Montreal community since 1991. Its main goal is to enhance the economic status of the community and provide more educational opportunities for visible minority youth.

Meet a few of the many BASF recipients from Concordia

"Of the 200-plus scholarships we've granted, at least 40 per cent have been awarded to Concordia students," says Kathleen Suite, BComm 95, treasurer and scholarship coordinator of the BASF.

There are four scholarship categories — the Jackie Robinson Entrance Scholarship, the Jackie Robinson Undergraduate Scholarship, the Jackie Robinson Graduate Scholarship and the Jackie Robinson Health Sciences or Nursing Scholarship — with one winner per category per year. The awards range from $1,000 to $2,000.

"It's really important to volunteer and be active in the community," says Rhea Beale, 2014 BASF Jackie Robinson Undergraduate Scholarship winner, who is completing her second bachelor's degree at Concordia in exercise science. Beale volunteers at the Jewish General Hospital and works with Sun Youth.

Fellow BASF Undergraduate Scholarship winner, Ukpong Etang, a marketing student at Concordia's John Molson School of Business, feels privileged to have access to higher education.

He was thrilled to be awarded a scholarship, twice — in 2008 and 2013.

"The money helped with tuition, and there's also books," says Etang. "People forget about books! Everything else goes to food."

He has been on the executive of the Concordia Caribbean Student Union for two years, first as vice-president of administration, then vice-president of finance.

Etang has a valuable piece of advice for future applicants: "Be authentic. Don't do community service just to put it on your resume."

He is also a steel pan player who has volunteered for literacy programs and mentored younger children since his first year in high school. "You can't fake it. Be real."

5 tips for BASF applicants

This year's deadline is May 31, 2016.

Want to put your best foot forward? Kathleen Suite has this advice for applicants:

It may sound obvious, but make sure to read the application guidelines carefully, follow the instructions and provide the documentation requested.

Ensure that you obtain an official transcript, which bears the academic institution's stamp. Photocopies or online transcripts are not accepted.

Reference letters must be sent by the referees, and should be on letterhead and signed. Emailed references (signed and on letterhead) will be accepted if sent in PDF format.

Send your two best reference letters: one academic, and one from a community or extracurricular activity leader. The references should be recent — within the last six months. Extra references are not necessary.

Don't be discouraged from applying if you're not an "A" student. Academic excellence is weighted at 40 per cent, community/volunteering at 30 per cent, extracurricular activities at 20 per cent and references at 10 per cent.

2015 winner Munro has one thing to add: "In your letter, speak from your heart!"

This year's Black Academic Scholarship Fund (BASF) deadline is May 31, 2016. For more information, email: basf.montreal@gmail.com.

Karlie Kloss Wants YOU To Code, Too

Photo: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images.

Karlie Kloss isn't just a supermodel. She's also driven and passionate about the causes she cares about. And one of those, you may be surprised to learn, is the state of the tech industry. Kloss wants to see more women coding and more women innovating, and she's helping to make that a reality.

It started with Kode With Klossy, a summer program she launched last year for 20 young women in New York City. This year, she expanded that program to 80 women and three cities. But there was one problem: Kode With Klossy is only for high school age women, 13 to 18, and as Kloss and her team went through applications for the program, they realized that there was a lot of interest from women college age or older.

So today, Kloss is introducing the Kode With Klossy Career scholarship. Valued at $12,000, this scholarship covers a nine-month coding program through New York's Flatiron School's Learn.co online campus. At the end of the self-taught program, participants will have the skills necessary for an entry level coding position.

"The main goal is to strengthen the pipeline for women in tech," Kloss told Refinery29 in a phone interview. "Just this past year, there were over 600,000 high paying computing jobs that were unfilled. The ambition with the Kode With Klossy Career scholarship is to help reach women who are dedicated to putting their coding skills to use professionally to close the job gap now."

Besides the length of the program and that it's self-taught, the biggest difference between the career scholarship and Kode With Klossy program is that at the completion of the program, women will have the chance to apprentice with a company. Partners include Vice, Instagram, WeWork, and Condé Nast. Applications are available today, and one woman each month for the next 12 months will be given a scholarship for the program.

To get the scholarship, you don't need coding or math skills already. Kloss thinks that curiosity and creativity are two impor tant attributes that help coders succeed. And then you'll need to be passionate — and focused — in order to complete the program on your own (it's designed to be done outside of your day job or current college work load).

And what about Kloss' own coding abilities? She says they're coming along "slow and steady."

"I've been learning [Ruby] part time for the past two years, and by all means I'm very much still a beginner," Kloss said. "My technical skills are slowly and steadily getting stronger every day, but I don't think I'd get a job just yet. I'll stick to my day job!"

If you'd like to jump-start your career, or take it in a new direction, you can apply for the Kode With Klossy Career scholarship here.

Deadline for Doyle Scholarships extended

The Santa Rosa Junior College Scholarship Office has announced a new opportunity for local high school seniors from the Class of 2016 to apply for Doyle Scholarships or Doyle Trustee Awards of up to $1,000 to attend SRJC during the 2016-17 academic year. The 2016-17 Doyle Scholarship application that initially closed on March 13, is being reopened for a brief period, from now through June 30.

SRJC is strongly encouraging high school seniors to apply during this special reopening. Funds are available for a wide range of students, including those who want to complete an associate's degree, those who want to transfer to a four-year institution and those working on career and technical certificate programs. Students can access the online applications by visiting the SRJC Scholarship Office's Online Bulletin Board at http://busapp02.santarosa.edu/SRScholarship/ScholarshipAwards.aspx where the Doyle scholarships and awards, as well as other scholarships, are listed.

Doyle Scholars will receive $500 for the fall 2016 semester provided they enroll at SRJC full-time (at least 12 units) and complete SRJC's student success steps. Then they have the opportunity to receive the second $500 award for the spring 2017 semester, as long as they maintain satisfactory academic progress; enroll full-time at SRJC for spring 2017; and develop a long-term education plan with an SRJC counselor.

"We are very pleased to be able to offer these scholarships and awards to more students," said SRJC Student Financial Services Director Jana Cox. "At this time of year, many high school seniors are evaluating options for their future. Like tens of thousands before them, today's students may find that a Doyle Scholarship or Doyle Trustee Award could make an important difference in helping them achieve their educational goals and dreams."

At the end of the first cycle in March, there were 1,544 total applicants for the Doyle scholarships; 1,162 were considered qualified. The SRJC Scholarship Committee recommended awards of $1,000 for the 2016-17 academic year, based on a combination of fund balance, reserve requirements, program growth and historical and projected acceptance rates. Currently, 90 students are under review to receive Doyle Trustee awards. In addition, 482 Doyle Scholars from the Class of 2015 will receive a renewal offer of their Doyle Scholarships for the 2016-17 academic year.

The Frank P. Doyle and Polly O'Meara Doyle Trust generates distributions for scholarships to help qualified high school students who will be attending SRJC full-time. During the 2016-17 academic year, Doyle Trustee awards are for high school seniors who have a GPA between 2.0 and 2.74. The complete application, including eligibility information, for the 2016-17 Doyle Trustee award is available at https://goo.gl/ObY7ZV.

For the Doyle Scholarship, high school students who will graduate in the 2015-2016 academic year and have an overall (unweighted) grade point average of 2.75 or higher are eligible. The complete application, including eligibility information, for the 2016-17 Doyle Scholarship are available at https://goo.gl/7tpPPW.

Do college scholarships turn gamers into athletes?

University of Kansas

Posted by George Diepenbrock-Kansas on May 24, 2016

You are free to share this article under the Attribution 4.0 International license.

The popularity of online gaming has grown so much that colleges are now offering athletic scholarships for "e-sports" participants. Interviews with 33 of these students reveal how they view themselves and their place in college athletics.

"I can see a lot of small colleges and universities saying, 'This is a way we can attract students who wouldn't come to our school otherwise.'"

"They openly acknowledged there are stereotypes against e-sports athletes. Many people would say they're 'just a bunch of nerds,' but they viewed themselves as athletes," says Claire Schaeperkoetter, a doctoral student at the University of Kansas and one of the study's authors. "They felt being part of a team contributed positively to their experience at the university."

The respondents cited their intense practice hours—as much as six hours a day, six days a week—the fact that they have coaches dedicated solely to working with them and the skills and focus required to compete at a high level as justifications for the athlete tag. The students compete, either remotely or at a shared location, against other teams in online, strategy-based games such as "Halo," "League of Legends," and "Heroes of the Storm."

Going pro

The students' motivations for taking part varied, but one jumped out at the researchers. Like other star athletes, students had dreams of making a career out of their field of competition.

"One thing we were surprised by is that a lot of them said they wanted to go pro. Whether it was to continue playing and making money, or to meet people in the business and have a career in the industry. In that sense they're just like many other college athletes," says Jordan Bass, assistant professor of sport management and faculty adviser for the study.

[Games like 'Call of Duty' train brains to learn faster]

College athletics have long been shown to help athletes and students gain social capital on their campuses. When asked if their e-sports participation helped in that regard, respondents said they formed strong relationships with teammates but didn't necessarily gain capital outside of the team within their university.

They reported not interacting much with athletes from the school's other sporting programs, but they also attributed that largely to the intense time and emotional investments required for competition. The majority did report being proud to wear their school's athletic apparel on campus and represent their team, despite not necessarily gaining capital and inclusion through their participation.

Scholarships and clubs

For the 2015-2016 school year, five schools in the US were offering scholarships through their athletic departments to students to take part in e-sports. Dozens more have club teams in which students compete without scholarships. In 2015 ESPN2 first aired a show titled "Heroes of the Dorm" in which University of California, Berkeley students competed against Arizona State University in a multiplayer online battle arena game called "Heroes of the Storm."

Respondents said they also took up e-sports at the college level simply because they enjoyed gaming and wanted to continue in college, or the fact they were offered a scholarship sealed the deal.

E-sports are not currently sanctioned by the NCAA or NAIA, but if they were, schools would face a litany of questions to answer before deciding to add a program, or how to address questions facing current programs. Not least among them, students who can now win money through tournaments would have to meet amateur eligibility guidelines.

[This brutal online game is redefining fun]

Before that happens, e-sports have a potential to be a recruiting tool and moneymaker for schools. Those offering scholarships through their athletic department are all relatively small, tuition-driven institutions.

"I can see a lot of small colleges and universities saying, 'This is a way we can attract students who wouldn't come to our school otherwise,'" Bass says.

Understanding the students' motivations could also help administrators boost student retention while avoiding a potentially high rate of burnout, as well as boosting sponsorship and strengthening the campus community as a whole, the authors write.

"It doesn't matter if we think e-sports are actually sports or not," Bass says. "Athletic administrators across the country have determined it is sport. It's a highly competitive activity that requires a special set of skills. If we can accept that, it can give a whole new set of people a college sporting experience."

Schaeperkoetter, Bass, and Brent Oja, a sport management doctoral graduate, presented the findings last month at the College Sport Research Institute conference in Columbia, South Carolina.

Let’s discuss university scholarships for poorer students

This week's featured article

TOMOHIKO OSAKI, THE JAPAN TIMES

With many young adults struggling to pay off student loans, anti-poverty advocates launched an online campaign Monday calling on the government to join other developed countries in instituting a scholarship program.

The online campaign comes amid rising criticism that Japan lags significantly behind other industrialized nations in terms of investing in efforts to help financially underprivileged students pursue university-level education.

The underlying problem, the campaigners said, lies in what is commonly called the shōgakukin system, which uses a word that literally means "scholarship" but essentially consists of student loans in disguise.

"Many financially challenged children hesitate to advance to higher education, or some of them even end up working in the sex industry to repay the debts," said chief campaigner Hiroki Komazaki.

Japan's "extremely flimsy" efforts to assist poor students poses a glaring contrast with other developed countries, where free access to universities or full-fledged scholarships are increasingly taken for granted. The petitioners are looking to collect about 50,000 signatures within a month and submit them to Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga.

Although a long-standing issue, the scholarship conundrum was catapulted into the political spotlight recently as both ruling and opposition lawmakers began campaigning to woo 18- and 19-year-olds ahead of this summer's crucial Upper House election, which will be the first to observe the new minimum voting age of 18.

In contrast with Japan's position as the world's third-largest economy, the gravity of its child poverty and widening income disparities has increasingly come to light in recent years. Last month UNICEF released a report that ranked Japan 34th out of 41 developed nations in household income equality involving children aged up to 17, placing it just ahead of Italy, Spain, Israel and Greece.

A 2014 OECD survey, meanwhile, found Japan's "relative poverty rate" in 2009 of 16.0 percent to be the sixth-worst among its 34 members and much higher than the global average of 11.3 percent. The relative poverty rate refers to the proportion of the population that is living below the poverty line, defined as half the median income of the total population.

Brooke students receive variety of scholarships

WELLSBURG - Scholarships worth millions of dollars were awarded to many Brooke High School students at the school's scholarship night Thursday thanks to the generosity and support of many individuals, organizations and institutions of higher education.

Pannett applauded all of the benefactors, including the Brooke County Schools Education Foundation, which under the leadership of former Brooke High School principal Anthony Paesano, has raised more than $1 million in scholarships during the last 25 years.

Many of the scholarships are sponsored by area residents in honor or memory of loved ones, various civic groups and many businesses, including Wheeling-Nisshin, which provided $231,000 in scholarships over that 25-year period.

This year the steel firm funded 11 $2,000 scholarships for the following students: Katie Castellucci, William Combs, Sydney Gambellin, Alexa Gerrard, Brittany Hawken, Christian Hooper, Mikayla Misch, Breah Nieman, Alexis Turner-Davis, Ashley VanCamp and Paige Wood.

Many scholarships were presented outside of the foundation's umbrella. Among them were scholarships ranging from $500 to $1,500 from the Wheeling-based Albert Christ Foundation, which each year has provided millions of dollars in scholarships to graduates of several school districts along the Ohio River.

This year Brooke's recipients are: Dalton Minger, Morgan Zopp, Cheyenne Hudson, Madeleine Marks, Kelly Schambach, Ashley Van Camp, Katherine Conaway, Caitlin Cuomo, Mekenzie DeFranco, Sydney Gambellin, Drew Garrett, Kaylee Johnson, Raeann Lahita, Mara Miller, Katie Castellucci, Carlie Diserio, Alexa Gerrard, Nathan Green,Taylor Hair, Chad Harper, Natalie Henwood,Christian Hooper, Matthew Lazear,Jennifer Myers, Cassidy Sauvageot, Taylor Simala, Kristian Slavik, Morgan Snyder, Shyla Stroud, Gabriella Taverne, Alexis Turner-Davis, Alisha Wells, Cameron Barchiesi, Kaitlyn Bilak, Mario Boni, William Combs, Payge Farmer, Jacob Kennedy, Rebecca Nice, Breah Nieman, Kalee Robinson, Caitlyn Shorts,Ty Sicurella , Matthew Valentine, Breanna Vanderpool and Cody Younciak.

Awarded West Virginia P.R.O.M.I.S.E. Scholarships were: Abigail Ayers, Jacqueline Carbasho, Katie Castellucci, Amanda Casto, Thomas Cole, William Combs, Katie Conaway, Daniel Cooper,Caitlin Cuomo, Mekenzie DeFranco, Carlie Diserio, Drew Garrett, Brett Geary, Haley George, Taylor Hair, Brittney Hawken, Natalie Henwood, Christian Hooper, Cheyenne Hudson, Abbey Jackson, Kaylee Johnson, Christian Kasprowicz, Jacob Kennedy, Tristan Kowcheck, Raeann Lahita, Thomas Lancaster, Matthew Lazear, Justin Loughrie, Marco Marino, Madeleine Marks, Mara Miller, Dalton Minger, Jennifer Myers, Kelly Schambach, Taylor Simala, Jason Sprinkle, James Stollar, Shyla Stroud, Gabriella Taverne, Patrick Thompson, Alexis Turner-Davis, Ashley VanCamp, Logan Virtue, Cody Younciak and Morgan Zopp.

In his first year at the school, Pannett continued the tradition of presenting the Principal's Award to a male and female student active in various school organizations. Receiving the awards and a $500 scholarship each were Chad Harper and Alexa Gerrard.

Among the oldest scholarships given in memory of former students are the Robert "Buzz" Rocchio and the Roger Simpson awards.

Rocchio was an outstanding band and choir member and all-around student, well liked by his peers, who died in an automobile accident in 1971. This year's winner, Jasmin Brown, wasn't able to accept the award, and a $500 scholarship, Thursday because she is with the band in Washington, D.C., but was presented it at the band's annual banquet.

Simpson was a Follansbee High School baseball player who died in 1964 after entering a coma stemming from injuries resulting from his collision with another player during a game. An outstanding student and athlete, Simpson lettered in three sports and was respected by his coaches and peers.

This year's winner of the Simpson Award and a $2,500 scholarship is Dalton Minger. Minger also will receive a $2,500 scholarship from the National Merit Scholarship Corp. after being named a National Merit Finalist.

About 15,000 students from throughout the U.S. are named National Merit Finalists after scoring in the upper half of the top 1 percent of thousands of high school students who took the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test, maintaining an outstanding academic record and submitting exemplary recommendations from school officials.

In recent years the Richard Whitehead Scholarship has served to recognize an outstanding female athlete and student. It's named for a late former Brooke County Schools superintendent, principal, teacher and track and field official.

This year's winner of the award and a $500 scholarship is Cheyenne Hudson.

Hudson, Minger and Brown also received other scholarships included in the following list. Other scholarship recipients were:

Classic Center Cultural Foundation awards scholarships to six students

The Classic Center Cultural Foundation has announced the winners of its 2016 scholarship program.

This year's culinary scholarship winner is Gracie Atsma from Athens Technical College's culinary arts program. Atsma was chosen among three finalists who were selected to prepare a dish during Athens Wine Weekend at The Classic Center in February. Athens Technical College's culinary program also received a $500 contribution from the foundation.

Twenty-four students from Clarke and surrounding counties competed for one of this year's three $2,000 Performing Arts Scholarships.

Daniel Blake McNeal, a senior from Oconee County High School, was awarded the Vocal Perfor­mance Scholar­ship. Simon Beckham, a senior at North Oconee High School, won the Drama Performance Scholarship. Linsey Chen, a senior from Cedar Shoals HighSchool, earned the Instrumental Performance Scholarship.

Each recipient's high school also received $500 for its music and arts department.

Two new scholarships were added this year to the foundation's program, expanding its reach into Rabun County. Out of six applicants, the foundation presented Vocal Performance Scholarships to Cylvie Patterson, a senior from Rabun County High School, and Bailey Baker, a senior from Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School. They were each awarded $2,000 scholarships, and their schools received $500.

James Wu, second Gates Millennium Scholarship winner, will attend Ivy League's Columbia University with all expenses paid

With plans to work on Wall Street someday, James Wu will first complete his undergraduate degree at Columbia University in New York City, thanks to the Gates Millennium Scholarship.

"I was in shock. It felt unreal," said Wu, 18, describing the feeling when he found out he was one of 1,000 students in the U.S. to receive the prestigious scholarship this year, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. "It's such an honor and privilege to have gotten the scholarship. It means the world to me."

The 2016 graduate of Washburn Rural High School will have all tuition and expenses paid in full as he works for a bachelor's degree in financial engineering with a minor in computer science. Up to this point in his young life, Wu said his mother has been his "biggest encouragement."

"She always pushed me and motivated me to achieve something that she never had the opportunity to have," he said, "especially an Ivy League education. We're very excited."

The Gates Millennium Scholarship was established in 1999 to allow minority students to pursue undergraduate degrees in several science and technology-related fields at the college of their choice. According to Columbia's website, the estimated cost of tuition for the 2015-16 school year is $69,084, which includes tuition and fees, room and board, books and personal expenses. Wu said the scholarship will also cover his travel costs.

The first in his family to leave Kansas to attend college, Wu said the all-expenses paid education will allow him to focus on getting his degree to eventually promote investment in renewable energy or become an investment banker at a Wall Street bank.

Wu said the relatively small Columbia campus, with an estimated 6,000 undergraduate students, is a "good fit" for him.

"It's a nice community," he said. "It's a tight-knit community. Everybody is very close. It felt right."

Wu said his love for computers began growing soon after being introduced to robotics in the Wanamaker Elementary gifted program.

"That's where I started getting an interest in computer science," he said. "I remember one of the projects that we did was to assemble a robot in less than an hour and program that robot and bring it into competition. That was very exciting for me. That's what sparked my initial interest in computer science."

But Wu's fierce competitive nature later permeated into policy debate and forensics when he reached Washburn Rural High School. In addition to serving as his debate team's president, he is a three-time national qualifier in policy debate, crediting his coaches, Cynthia Burgett and Tim Ellis, for his success, describing them as "the absolute best."

"I feel so privileged to have gotten the chance to work with them over the past couple of years," he said, "because they definitely are part of the best coaching staff in Kansas for sure."

Wu also credits his debate partner, Laura Nicolae, who plans to pursue a double major in mathematics and economics at Harvard this fall, for his debate achievements.

"It's such a privilege to go out and debate with her every weekend," he said. "We're both very, very competitive as it is. We like to go out and win tournaments."

Wu and Alexis Tibbits of Topeka High School, are the only two Shawnee County students to have won the Gates Millennium Scholarship this year.

According to the foundation's website, the other Kansas recipients include Kailey Davis, Hiawatha High School; Brianna Barrientos, South High School (Wichita); Amanda Conway, Hill City Jr.-Sr. High; Zainab Dafalla, Wyandotte High School; George Ibarra, Liberal High School; Rogelio Martinez, North High School (Wichita); Tavian Smith, Northeast Magnet High School and Darion Stafford, Washington High School (Kansas City, Kan.).

Deadline moved up for Lilly Scholarship

The 2017 Switzerland County Lilly Endowment Community Scholar will be announced early beginning in the 2016-2017 school year.

Next year's winner of the scholarship will be announced in early December of 2016. Previous scholarship recipients were identified in March of the year they graduated from high school.

The change in the timeline affects all Indiana community foundations, including the Community Foundation of Switzerland County.

The advanced timeline is the result of a "compelling recommendation" from community foundations who participated in a statewide evaluation of the program conducted by Lilly Endowment in 2015. During the evaluation process, a number of community foundations suggested that identifying Lilly Scholars earlier in the school year would give more time for them to decide which college or university to attend.

The Community Foundation of Switzerland County, Inc. is adjusting its timeline for choosing a local scholar. The Foundation's voluntee r Scholarship Committee members are currently meeting to review its scholarship criteria and selection process to ensure it is compatible with the new deadline.

The Foundation will make the online Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship application for 2017 graduates available in early August, 2016 at the latest. Completed applications will be due at 3 p.m. on September 1st, 2016.

In addition, the College Costs Estimator portion of the application will have an earlier deadline of August 10th. An Estimator must be completed in order to apply for the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship.

One Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship will continue to be awarded in Switzerland County. The scholarship will provide full tuition for four years of undergraduate study leading to a baccalaureate degree, all required fees, and up to $900 a year for required books and equipment. It does not pay for room and board.

If you have any questions about the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship or the Community Foundation in general, please contact Pam Acton or Melissa Andrew at (812) 427-9160 or info@cfsci.org.

Reviewing Nigeria’s overseas scholarship policies

The recent global economic crunch sequel to the collapse of international price of crude oil has exposed the soft belly of improperly articulated policies of Nigerian administrations over the years. The visible manifestations of this global crisis in Nigeria are the non payment of workers' salaries, collapse of infrastructure, and increasing incidence of violent crimes including armed robbery and kidnapping. In its more subtle but by no means, not less significant form is the default of the various tiers of governments in their international financial commitments including payment of stipends and school fees in respect of Nigerian students who are on federal and state scholarships. This has left many students in very dire straits, in danger of starvation and eviction and possible deportation to their father land without accomplishing the mission of a life time! The plight of 350 students of Rivers State extraction, studying abroad under the auspices of the State's overseas sch olarship scheme seem to have made headlines in both local and international tabloids.

First indication of problem with payments of stipends and other entitlement emerged in June 2015 when the newly elected governor of Rivers State, Barrister Nyesom Wike signalled his intention to review the overseas scholarship scheme initiated by his predecessor Mr. Rotimi Amaechi. The reason is the dwindling resources at the disposal of the state government and what he termed "perceived scam". By December 2015, it was obvious that the Rivers State government would no longer continue to fund the overseas scholarship programme and had concluded plans to repatriate beneficiaries except those in their final year of study. The extent of the problem nationwide may never be fully appreciated. In June last year, the President of Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide, Mr. Udengs Eradiri suggested that over 6,000 Niger Delta students mainly of Ijaw extraction are highly distressed over the inability of the sponsoring governments to pays the fees and stipends. If we estimate that over 20, 000 Ni gerian students may be benefiting from the overseas scholarship scheme nationwide, at an average rate of about N5, 000,000 per student per annum for both undergraduate and post graduate programmes, this may translate into about N100 billion annually! This represents a huge capital flight from the Nigerian government into the educational system of the benefiting foreign universities at the detriment of our local institutions. Many of the beneficiaries of the Nigerian scholarship programmes never return to Nigeria at the completion of their studies, preferring to secure appointment in their host countries. This contributes to the perpetual brain drain that is characteristic of the developing countries and the perpetually poor staffing position of the public and private institutions at home. Incidentally, the little fund available is frittered away through corrupt practices and funding of an over bloated and incompetent administrative machinery.

Fifty years after independence and about as many years of overseas training of young Nigerians in advanced institutions in the West, the Nigerian tertiary institutions still remain grossly understaffed and ill equipped. Those that have benefitted from the cutting edge training in the West loathe returning to the crude conditions that still persist at home. We would need to change the picture on ground if we must move forward. With the yawning gap between the conditions of study at home and abroad, no normal thinking person would choose to return to Nigeria after studying abroad. The current situation when the nation cannot afford to fund the overseas scholarship is a golden opportunity to look inwards and improve on the facilities in Nigerian institutions.

The available funds must be used to upgrade the existing institutions, at least to standards comparable to some of the ones we throng to abroad. The existing funds could be made to go a long way by reducing the administrative burden by cutting down on an over-bloated and highly inefficient administrative work force which consumes a huge chunk of the available funds. This is in line with the recommendations of the NEEDS assessment report on the nation's universities calling for an immediate reorganization of the Registry and Bursary departments of Nigerian universities to produce leaner, more effective and professional units. But worse still is the brazen corruption that is characteristic of many Nigerian universities with inflated contracts, innumerable ghost workers, and unauthorized purchase of vehicles, all at the expense of funding academic programmes. Monies collected from different categories of students never manage to trickle down to the academic facilities like the clas srooms and the laboratories which are perennially overcrowded and devoid of functional equipment. An improvement in the operating environment at home would at least entice some of the students trained abroad to return home. Many trained in some of the best universities in the West have been rendered absolutely ineffective by the absolute desolation in the establishments we call universities here in Nigeria. The occasion of the economic collapse is an opportunity to deemphasize overseas training and refocus on rebuilding the Nigerian university system, to provide facilities for training effective manpower locally!
