$500 MS State Scholarship for Senior Men

 I am the Recruitment Chairman for Sigma Nu Fraternity here at Mississippi State University. We are offering one $500 scholarship to one high school senior male attending Mississippi State in the fall of 2013. We look for the winner of our “Freshman Leadership Scholarship” to demonstrate a commitment to excellence in the classroom and show his involvement in his community through extracurricular activities and leadership positions. It should be noted that one does not need to be interested in fraternity to win this scholarship as membership is not required to win. The due date to mail in the application is April 11th, 2014. The College Counseling office has the application form.

 If you have any questions feel free to email me at gam166@msstate.edu or call me on my cell phone at (901)351-0409.

The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards

If you've made a difference by volunteering in your community over the past year, you could win $1,000 and a trip to Washington, D.C., by applying for a Prudential Spirit of Community Award!
The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program is the United States' largest youth recognition program based exclusively on volunteer community service. The program was created in 1995 by Prudential in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) to honor middle level and high school students for outstanding service to others at the local, state, and national level.

The program's goals are to applaud young people who already are making a positive difference in their towns and neighborhoods, and to inspire others to think about how they might contribute to their communities. Over the past 18 years, more than 345,000 young Americans have participated in the program, and more than 100,000 of them have been officially recognized for their volunteer efforts.

Students are encouraged to complete an online application by November 5. http://spirit.prudential.com/view/page/soc/14779

Local Honorees are selected at participating schools and organizations in November. From these winners, an independent judging organization names the top middle level and high school volunteer in each state and Washington, D.C. Results are announced in early February. Then, 10 National Honorees are chosen by a panel of prominent public figures, and announced at a special ceremony in Washington, D.C., in May.
Back To Top

Who is eligible?
Any young person who:
is in grades 5-12 as of November 5,
is a legal resident of any U.S. state or Washington, D.C.,

Thomas Wolfe Scholarship at UNC

The Creative Writing Program and the Department of English of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are pleased to announce the Thomas Wolfe Scholarship, which offers full four-year financial support to one incoming freshman per year.

The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship's level of support will be equal to that of the University's well-known Morehead Scholarships. Whereas the Morehead Scholarship places broad emphasis on a candidate's exemplary leadership, community service, academic excellence, and physical vigor, the Thomas Wolfe Scholarship seeks to identify and reward students with exceptionally focused literary ability and promise.

Thomas Wolfe Scholarship applicants must apply simultaneously to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill by the October 15, 2013 EARLY admission deadline and must meet all academic requirements for EARLY admission. These are two distinct application processes and require different forms and separate mailings.

The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship award, the first of its kind at UNC-Chapel Hill, will be based largely on written work submitted by candidates. Artistic merit is the chief criterion of selection. Students who write poetry, fiction, plays, literary non-fiction (personal narratives, memoir, travel and nature essays, literary journalism, belles-lettres) are eligible. Multiple genre submissions are also encouraged, though submissions are limited to one application per student.

The application process will require the submission of up to fifty (50) pages in prose, forty (40) pages in poetry, or sixty (60) in play writing, in English. In addition to completing an application questionnaire, candidates will submit a five-hundred-word personal essay entitled "Why I Write."

The age of entering freshmen under The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship shall not exceed twenty-two (22) years. The scholarship is not available to undergraduate college students seeking to transfer to UNC-Chapel Hill from other institutions. All applicants shall be citizens of the United States of America.

The Board of Advisors of The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship may award the scholarship to a new recipient annually. However, the Board of Advisors may decide not to award the scholarship in any given year due to financial constraints, the quality of applicants, or other sufficient reason, in the Board's sole discretion. The decision of the Board of Advisors will be final. The submission of an application will constitute assent to all conditions and stipulations expressed herein.

The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship will begin accepting applications beginning September 1st, 2013, with the deadline for submissions being October 15, 2013 (submissions must be postmarked by that date). Preliminary screening will be completed in Early February 2014, with final screening concluding in early March. A minimum of three outstanding candidates will then be brought to the UNC-Chapel Hill campus for interviews, and a final selection of the next Thomas Wolfe Scholar will be made in early April 2014.
