Joshua Gomes Memorial Scholarship Fund 2012 2013
Award Amount

Aug 15 Awards Available
Varies
Description:
The Joshua Gomes Memorial Scholarship Fund aims to lay a path for hope for young adults with HIV/AIDS by providing academic scholarships to universities of their choice. Each $1,000 scholarship we award will give the recipient a strong message:
You are worth investing in.
Josh Gomes was a man with a plan. He had drive. He had passion. He had hope for the future. Josh also had hemophilia and AIDS.
When the immune disease took his life at age 21, Josh was working toward a double degree in pre-medicine and pre-law at the University of Denver. The fact that Josh was continuing his education didn't surprise those who knew him well, but it may have surprised the physicians who gave him little hope of surviving childhood.
Today, miracle drugs are extending the lives of children who have HIV/AIDS, allowing these kids to grow up to be productive members of our community.
Children with HIV/AIDS can make it, just like any other kid, if they have the right medical care, supportive friends and family … and most of all, hope.
Josh, who was valedictorian of his 1997 high school class, felt strongly about going to college despite the "death sentence" his doctors had given him every year of his life. Learning was one of his core values: to stop learning was to truly die. The thought of college gave him a strong sense of hope for a fulfilling future.
But when he began looking for college funding, he found that many scholarships created in tribute to children with hemophilia who died from AIDS often went to those who weren't HIV positive. He believed that action spoke loudly:
You may die, so we won't invest.
The Joshua Gomes Memorial Scholarship Fund aims to lay a path for hope for young adults like Josh-those with HIV/AIDS-by providing academic scholarships to universities of their choice.
We hope to allow Josh's love for learning and community service to continue through other young adults who also exhibit these qualities.

The Carl Albert Congressional Research and Studies Center at the University of Oklahoma seeks applicants for its Visiting Scholars Program, which provides financial assistance to researchers working at the Center's archives. Awards of $500-$1000 are normally granted as reimbursement for travel and lodging. These research visits to the Carl Albert Center usually last no longer than one week.
The Center's holdings include the papers of many former members of Congress, such as Robert S. Kerr, Fred Harris, and Speaker Carl Albert of Oklahoma; Helen Gahagan Douglas and Jeffery Cohelan of California; Sidney Clarke of Kansas; and Neil Gallagher of New Jersey. Besides the history of Congress, congressional leadership, national and Oklahoma politics, and election campaigns, the collections also document government policy affecting agriculture, Native Americans, energy, foreign affairs, the environment, the economy, and other areas. Topics that can be studied include the Great Depression, flood control, soil conservation, and tribal affairs. At least one collection provides insight on women in American politics. Most materials date from the 1920s to the 1970s, although there is one nineteenth century collection. The Center’s collections are described on the World Wide Web at http://www.ou.edu/special/albertctr/archives/ and in the publication titled
A Guide to the Carl Albert Center Congressional Archives (Norman, Okla.: The Carl Albert Center, 1995) by Judy Day, et al., available at many U. S. academic libraries. Additional information can be obtained from the Center.
The Visiting Scholars Program is open to any applicant. Emphasis is given to those pursuing postdoctoral research in history, political science, and other fields. Graduate students involved in research for publication, thesis, or dissertation are encouraged to apply. Interested undergraduates and lay researchers are also invited to apply. The Center evaluates each research proposal based upon
its merits, and funding for a variety of topics is expected.
No standardized form is needed for application. Instead, a series of documents should be sent to the Center, including: (1) a description of the research proposal in fewer than 1000 words; (2) a personal vita; (3) an explanation of how the Center's resources will assist the researcher; (4) a budget proposal; and (5) a letter of reference from an established scholar in the discipline attesting to the significance of the research.

Scholarship Description
Call for SEVEN Fund Student Essay Competition
The SEVEN Fund has announced its Student Essay Competition. The competition will award one (1) undergraduate student prize of US$10,000 and one (1) graduate student prize of US$20,000. The submission deadline is December 7, 2008 at midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST). Winners will be announced on February 7.
Essay Question
Great leaders require great followers. They create a vision imbued with moral purpose, tension, insight; and they open hearts and minds to that vision by embodying the personal values consistent with that vision, and by being eloquent.
Please review the videos called, “The Entrepreneur President, Paul Kagame of Rwanda,” Parts One and Two (available at www.sevenfund.org/essayresources). For purposes of this essay, assume the role of policy advisor to President Kagame, and consider these videos your personal briefing on his top priorities. In response, write a 2000 word essay with policy recommendations that put President Kagame’s vision into practice. The essay should use the first person, and be persuasive. The introductory sentence might even begin, “Your Excellency, I understand your vision and here are my policy recommendations.”
As further background to inform this essay on policy you may review Michael Fairbanks’ chapter in the book Culture Matters , called “Changing the Mind of a Nation”(also available at www.sevenfund.org/essayresources), though that is not necessary. The essay need not be comprehensive, but should focus on key policies. Your recommendations should not be purely ideological nor a regurgitation of conventional wisdom. Rather, we encourage you to formulate an original, practical and integrated set of policies for Rwanda that focus on Enterprise Solutions to Poverty. The essay should address specific policy recommendations in some or all of the following areas :
- Monetary policy
- Fiscal Policy
- Direct Foreign Investment policy
- Trade policy
- Sectoral Policy
- Wage Policy
The winners will be announced on February 7. We intend to personally present the winning paper(s) to His Excellency, President Paul Kagame, and his cabinet for their review. The winning essays may be published in selected magazines and publications. SEVEN intends to publish a selection of all submitted essays on its website and in an essay book. By entering the essay competition, students are understood to give their permission for their essay to be used in that fashion.
SEVEN intends to run a version of this competition annually.
SEVEN (The Social Equity Venture Fund) is an independent nonprofit organization supported by a grant from the John Templeton Foundation.

The Fund’s activities are enhanced by the active participation of its SEVEN Fund Members. SEVEN Fund Membership consists of all researchers funded by the Fund, as well as researchers with membership granted by the SEVEN principals via invitation or application.
The aim of SEVEN Fund programs is to challenge the prevailing mindset in the fight against poverty. We want to stimulate discussion around the questions of whether wealth-creation may be the most effective solution to alleviate poverty. We invest our efforts and resources to discuss, find, research, and document examples where entrepreneurial success is shown to have led to poverty alleviation. In the process, we support entrepreneurs in developing countries with case studies, mentorship programs and publicity and services that help them succeed at what they do.

Presidential Forum on Renewable Energy Essay Contest 2012-2013
Award Amount
$10,000 Deadline Date
Feb 01 Awards Available
3
Scholarship Description
The Presidential Forum on Renewable Energy is sponsoring a student essay contest in which three college students will be named and awarded a $10,000 educational prize. The contest will engage college students in the issues of renewable energy, sustainability, and conservation.
Eligibility: The contest is open to students who, as of January 1, 2008, are between the ages of 18 and 24; enrolled, full-time or part-time, in an undergraduate college program; and a citizen of the United States of America.
Prize: An educational prize of $10,000 will be paid to each of the three students who submit a winning essay. The prizes will be paid to the students, in a lump sum, on or after May 1, 2008. Individual winners will be responsible for all tax liabilities.
Announcement of Winners
The three students whose essays have been selected as winners will be contacted directly by the Presidential Forum on Renewal Energy in April, 2008, to coincide with Earth Day. The official announcement of the winners will be made only after each student’s eligibility has been confirmed.
Timeline:
February 1, 2008 Essay Submission Due Date
1 month later 10 finalists identified
1 week later 3 winners and two runners-up identified
1 week later 3 winners verified
April 2008 Announcement of 3 winners at Earth Day event
Essay Question:
Although Americans make up only five percent of the world’s population, we consume twenty-five percent of its energy production. Our dependence on non-renewable energy sources such as oil has a profound and long-term impact on our environment and our quality of life, and even on our economic stability and national security.
Developing renewable energy sources, then, is an urgent national priority. Renewable energy is any resource that naturally replenishes itself in a relatively short period of time such as hydropower, solar energy, and wind energy.
As the 2008 presidential election approaches, this contest gives you a voice in this critical problem. We invite you to submit a 4 to 6 point renewable energy plan for America. Your plan should lay out strategies for the next five to ten years and beyond that will minimize our current dependence on non-renewable energy sources.
Assume your goal is to convince an audience of politicians, the United States public, and scientists that your plan is the optimal solution to a pressing problem. Your plan must be practical, so you should address the technical, economic, and political challenges your proposal will face. A persuasive argument will sketch the dimensions of the problem, weigh the costs and benefits of its proposal versus that of potential alternatives and offer clear reasoning and hard evidence.
The Selection Criteria
Submissions will be evaluated on their originality, on their political, economic, and technical feasibility, and on their long-term viability. We will evaluate plans on the soundness and originality of your thinking, but we will also consider the ability to present those ideas in a concise, persuasive, and compelling manner.
Rules:
* All submissions should be 4 – 6 pages and may not exceed 2,500 words.
* All participants are permitted to submit only one essay.
* Group submissions are not allowed.
* Charts, graphs and images are not permitted.
* All references must be cited according to MLA style.
* All submissions must be pasted into the form hosted on http://www.2008energyforum.org , including title and abstract.
* Participants are required to verify that they are: enrolled in a full or part time college program; a United States citizen: and submitting an original and properly cited essay.
* Works found to be plagiarized will be disqualified and any prizes awarded withdrawn. The student who submitted the work may be liable for resulting legal and financial consequences.
* Essays will be evaluated on originality, political and technical feasibility, and long term implications. While the essay contest is about ideas, your ability to present those ideas in a concise and effective manner will also be considered.
* The decision of the judges is final.
