Private Scholarships
Universities often have monies available to finance scholarships for students, but they are certainly not the only place to secure these much coveted gift monies. Just as universities use scholarships as a way to attract and keep a certain segment of students, private organizations often have scholarship funds set up to ensure that the segment of the population they are invested in can go to college as well. Below, we will look at what kind of private scholarships are available, how to find them, and how to secure them.
What Kinds of Private Scholarships are Available? While it might seem surprising, almost every kind of scholarship exists that can be imagined. There are private scholarship funds set up by feminist groups for working mothers, ones set up by firefighters for the children of firefighters, scholarships for children of Vietnam Veterans, for first generation immigrants, etc. If you can think of it, a scholarship probably exists.
How Do I Find a Private Scholarship? There are several ways to go about finding private scholarships. The first and most simple is to contact your university’s office of financial aid and ask them. They usually have a list of private scholarships that are available. Next, go to the web. Using Google or a similar search engine type in your special interest and the word “scholarship”. You’ll be amazed at what comes up!
How Do I Secure a Private Scholarship? There is no one answer to this question. Some groups ask that you write an essay, others ask for proof of eligibility (your dad’s discharge paper, for example), and some might ask for a personal interview.
There are literally millions of private scholarships out there! Go out and find them!

George Washington Carver Scholarship 2008
The Carver Birthplace District Association, in conjunction with the George Washington Carver National Monument in Diamond, Missouri, is pleased to announce the seventh annual George Washington Carver Scholarship. The scholarship is a one-time award in the amount of $500 for the 2008/2009 academic year. It will be awarded to a local graduating high school senior, or local home school student receiving a GED certificate.
Criteria for determining the award recipient will include academic achievement, community involvement and need. Students should plan to attend Iowa State University, Tuskegee University, Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa, or an accredited college within a 75 mile radius of Diamond, Missouri, site of the George Washington Carver National Monument. Chosen area of study must include one of the following: science, art, agriculture, music, education, or study of the Bible.
Scholarship applications may be obtained from the Carver Visitor Center or from local high school guidance counselors. Applications must be submitted to the Carver Birthplace District Association, 5646 Carver Rd, Diamond, MO 64840 by Friday, April 4, 2008.
A native son of Missouri, George Washington Carver triumphed over many obstacles to receive a master’s in agriculture from Iowa Agricultural College. As an educator at the Tuskegee Institute he encouraged his students to “…strive for your highest goal.”
The Carver Birthplace District Association is a non-profit organization established to assist in advancing the historical, scientific, educational and interpretive programs of George Washington Carver National Monument. For more information about the group, contact Paxton Williams, its executive director, at (417) 325-4151 between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Harvard Summer School Program 2008-2009
In association with the Harvard University Summer School, the Center for Tropical Forest Science and the Arnold Arboretum (CTFS-AA) will offer a field biology course to be held in Sarawak and Sabah (East Malaysia) from 1 July to 5 August 2008. Ten Southeast and South Asian participants will join 10 US students to study terrestrial and marine biodiversity, ecology and conservation, with instructors from Harvard University and other institutions.
The forests and reefs of northwest and north Borneo have some of the highest levels of alpha diversity in the world. The forests are home to orang-utans, hornbills, rhinos and thousands of tree species, and the reefs offer some of the best diving in the world. We will visit world-class parks and reserves (e.g., Lambir, Kinabalu and the Maliau Basin), to gain a thorough understanding of abiotic controls on species composition, and will contrast processes that maintain biodiversity in forests with those operating on coral reefs. Throughout Borneo, intensive logging and marine harvesting have occurred for many years. Our course will explore the complexities of conservation today, including trips to sustainably-managed, carbon-traded, and restored forests. We will also provide opportunities for the students to meet people living in and off the forest, to understand their motivations for forest conversion and conservation, and to consider the human health dimensions of forest change.
A key feature will be the development of skills in research project design, execution and analysis, based around the statistical platform `R.’ The students will complete two independent projects, from conception to presentation, and participate in a group project on the coral reef. The students will gain database and web publishing skills by developing a community digital record of the trip.
The course is aimed at advanced undergraduates, recent graduates currently active in biological research, and postgraduate entry-level students. Travel, food, accommodation and course fees will be funded for Tropical Asian nationals (ASEAN, PNG, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, China) by the CTFS-AA program. Students will be responsible for other costs and some students may be requested to pay their international travel. Places may be available for non-Harvard, non-Asian, paying students. Students will be selected to provide broad international representation.
For more information on the course (including instructions for application) see:
* http://www.summer.harvard.edu/2008/programs/abroad/borneo/
* http://phylodiversity.net/borneo-course/.
A flyer is available for posting on notice boards:

Completed application materials should be directed to Cam Webb (c/oborneo2008@phylodiversity.net.
