Scholarship Opportunities

Spring 2011 Incentive Scholarships of $500 are now available for students NOT majoring in mathematics or computer science. To be eligible, a student must be a U.S. citizen or national who has financial need and takes a mathematics or computer science course that counts for the requirement in that major but is not required in their own major. For more information or to apply online, visit http://smacs.truman.edu or contact Dana Vazzana at dvazzana@truman.edu. For first consideration, apply by Oct. 27.

The United States Department of State has announced the competition for the 2011 Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) Program for overseas intensive summer language institutes in 13 critical-need foreign languages.

While no service requirement is attached to the awards, participants are expected to continue their language study beyond the scholarship period, applying their critical language skills in their future professional careers. Students of all disciplines are encouraged to apply for the scholarships by Nov. 15. To access the online application or for more information, visit http://www.clscholarship.org or e-mail cls@caorc.org.
