This website has a comprehensive list of scholarships available, along with some grant resources and other information about applying for financial aid. So, if you’re in Texas, at least you only have to look in one place for the scholarships!

Page and Johnson Legacy Scholar Competition

admin — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 06:54:45 +0000

The Arthur W. Page Center at the Penn State College of Communications announces its annual Page and Johnson Legacy Scholar competition for the study of integrity in public communication.

The Page Center will award up to $75,000 total in grants to support scholars and professionals making important contributions to knowledge, practice or public understanding of ethics and responsibility in public communication. Individual grant awards may range from $1,000 to $25,000.

The themes for this year’s call for proposals are:

* Ethics in financial communication and investor relations;
* How company credos and codes of ethics affect corporate behavior. Do they positively influence the way that some corporations respond to ethical dilemmas or matters of public importance? If so, why? Are they largely window dressing for other companies? Why? What accounts for the differences, and what are the implications?
* Role of public relations in fostering corporate responsibility;
* Curriculum development in and pedagogical approaches to ethics in public relations;
* Other topics in ethics in public communication; and
* Other areas of Page’s or Johnson’s legacy, including political communication, public opinion formation and attitude change, history of public relations, health communication, and international broadcasting.

Page and Johnson Legacy Scholars may come from a variety of academic disciplines and professional fields, including:

* scholars and researchers, either university-based, think-tank or independent,
* doctoral candidates, who will have completed their coursework and examinations and are at the dissertation-writing stage during the year of the award,
* and practitioners of public communication, such as corporate or non-profit public relations professionals, journalists, and editors.

Women and minorities are especially encouraged to apply.

Proposals from any perspective, paradigm or methodological orientation are welcome. Joint applications and collaborative projects are especially encouraged.

Award winners in previous years are eligible for additional awards.

The application deadline is March 5, 2010

Grants for Low Income Students

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:59:43 +0000

In January of 2006, Governor Jim Doyle introduced the Wisconsin Covenant, a program created to inspire young people to plan early for a successful high-school career that will lead to higher education. Each year, eighth graders in Wisconsin are invited to sign the Wisconsin Covenant Pledge, a promise that they will:

Earn a high-school diploma.
Maintain at least a “B” average in high school.
Complete the classes they need to prepare them for higher education.
Demonstrate good citizenship and participate in their community.
Apply for state and federal financial aid in a timely manner.
Take the necessary steps to gain admission to a University of Wisconsin System institution, a Wisconsin Technical College, and/or a Wisconsin private college or university.

In return for meeting these goals and keeping the pledge, a Wisconsin Covenant Student will be recognized as a Wisconsin Covenant Scholar, earn a place within the partnered systems of higher education, and receive a financial aid package, based on their family’s financial need, to help make college affordable.
