Big Scholarships

When you think about college scholarships for yourself, you are probably hoping for some big scholarships – or those that award large scholarship sums of money. Unfortunately, most of the scholarships that you will be eligible for and win are small awards. This doesn’t mean, however, that you shouldn’t know about and apply for the really large scholarships if you qualify. These are unusual scholarships because the awards are so large and definitely not the norm when it comes to student scholarship aid. Less then 1% of students will be able to qualify and win a big scholarship.

First you need to understand that big college scholarships come from a wide range of sources. Many colleges offer their own unusual scholarships, and some colleges offer scholarships that are worth more than other colleges. The biggest scholarships offered by colleges will come through the departments. For example, if you are an English Major, you need to seek out large scholarships that are available through the English Department at the college that you attend. Most of these unusually large scholarships are not available for entering freshmen, because you have to prove your value to the department head to be eligible.

The next place you need to turn to for large scholarships is corporations. Because corporations typically have more funds available than small businesses, they can offer larger scholarship awards – and they offer these big scholarship awards to keep the publics opinion of their company fairly high. People tend to not like big corporations that make lots of profit without reinvesting at least a portion of that profit back into communities.

Examples of corporate scholarships that are quite large include a $25,000 Target scholarship;  $25,000 Discover Card scholarship; $20,000 Coca Cola scholarship, a full ride Rhodes Scholarship $20,000 Dell scholarship and the massive Robert Byrd Scholarship Program. This is just a small sampling of the large scholarships that are available through big corporations. Each corporation will have their own eligibility requirements, and their own selection process.

While you are seeking large college scholarships, make sure that you keep your eyes open for fellowships as well. Fellowships award stipends – and you can typically spend your stipend in anyway that you wish. These stipends can be as little as a few thousand dollars, or as high as $45,000. Of course, there will be other requirements that you must fulfill as the winner of a fellowship, such as research work.

It is vital that you understand that the unusually big scholarships are typically not available to average students. In most cases, you must possess some special skill, score very high academically, show true athletic promise, or prove yourself to be extremely civic minded. If none of this applies to you, your search for large scholarship awards may be futile, and you may be better off spending your time applying for numerous smaller obscure scholarships. Many community based local scholarships are quite large, but again you must have shown your value to your community and meet other requirements in order to be considered.

Overall, some of the largest scholarship awards are from athletic scholarships. These big scholarships typically offer the student what we call a ‘full ride.’ This means that the entire cost of the student’s education is covered along with living expense and book. These large scholarships are typically made through the college that the student will be attending – and playing sports for. If getting big scholarships interests you the most consider the above and see if you may fit the criteria to apply.

Eagle Scout scholarships are mostly unknown scholarships and come from many organizations. We will cover those which are known, and offer the principal Eagle Scout scholarship. The many other unknown scholarships for Eagle Scouts, which are too abundant to mention, may offer from $100.00 to $300.00 and come from various organizations both small and large. Those, you have to research to find out if those places still are offering the Eagle Scouts scholarships. This seems to change from year to year, depending if there was any Eagle Scout college scholarships money allocated for that year from that specific organization.

The two preeminent types of nationally awarded scholarships for Eagle Scouts presented annually by the National Eagle Scout Association (NESA), are academic scholarships and merit based scholarships. The National Eagle Scout Association and Mabel and Lawrence S. Cooke Scholarships provide the academic scholarships. The Merit based Eagle Scout scholarships are sponsored by the Hall/McElwain Merit Scholarships. The academic Eagle scholarship will have emphasis on academic achievements as well as your actualization of becoming an Eagle Scout. The Merit Eagle Scout scholarship primary focus is on the high level of realization from becoming an Eagle Scout, an extreme level of accomplishment indeed.  There are also other Eagle Scout scholarships offered by the NESA which are categorized as Religious, Civic/Military and Institution-Specific.

Academic Scout Scholarship Details
There are four $20,000 scholarships to be used over (4) years college, and a $48,000 scholarship, also to be used over four years, along with a number of other. A miscellaneous number of 3,000 scholarships are also awarded in the academic based category too.

 
Merit based Eagle Scout Scholarships
A number of $1,000 scholarships are presented every year and are selected from the various Boy Scout regions based on recommendations from the same. Eagle Scouts must be graduating high school and entering college in the year they apply for the National Eagle Scout Association scholarships. The NESA reports that they receive approximately 5000 applications yearly and less then 100 are awarded. Don’t let this discourage you from applying though. Many times we’ve heard that people who applied thought they never thought they had a chance to win. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Apply the original Boy Scout motto “Do your best” and get your application in.
The submission deadline for the NESA scout scholarship application is January 31, 2009.

Religious Eagle Scout Scholarships

Emmett J. Doerr Memorial Distinguished Scout Scholarship is presented by the National Catholic Committee on Scouting.

Institution-Specific Eagle Scout scholarships can be viewed by going to:  http://www.nesa.org/institutions.html. This is continually updated and many institutions participate, with some (17) at last count. These institutions are all Colleges who place a high value on scouting in ones life and award that. Both Boy Scout and Girl Scout scholarships are available at most of these institutions.

Although, there are many other entities that provide hundreds of unknown scholarships for Eagle Scouts, as well as Girl Scout scholarships, the NESA scholarships listed above are sanctioned by the National Eagle Scout Association. These other unknown Scout scholarships may not be given out consistently every year by these entities, and they may not be worth the trouble looking into since their award amounts may be very low.

Eagle Scouts have always followed the Boy Scout motto of “Do your best”. Never has their been a better reward for following this golden Scout rule then an Eagle Scout scholarship to college!

The Oprah Winfrey Scholarship Program works differently then other scholarship programs, and the Oprah scholarships will not be unclaimed scholarships by any stretch of the imagination because of her celebrity status which is known for her philanthropy and humanitarianism. Oprah Winfrey has set up (3) different charities which she designates scholarship monies for other scholarship programs of her choice at various colleges and schools.

The (3) Oprah Winfrey Charities which Oprah Winfrey runs and operates through, to provide her scholarships are:

OPRAH WINFREY FOUNDATION
This Foundation is the private foundation which is under the direction of Oprah Winfrey. This foundation is Oprah’s pride and joy. According to the most recent filing, the Oprah Winfrey Foundation has total assets of $172 million. Recently, Oprah Winfrey placed $36 million of her own money in the Foundation, which in turn distributed $8 million to numerous educational, arts and medical venues to be used for her Oprah Winfrey Scholarships. This organization normally will not accept donations from the public. If the public wants to support Oprah Winfrey-related philanthropic work through donations, you would be directed to do so through the Oprah’s Angel Network (OAN) below.

OPRAH WINFREY OPERATING FOUNDATION
This Foundation is a private operating foundation whose current focus is operating the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls – South Africa Program. The main focus is providing monies through endowments to South African schools only. Oprah describes the reason behind establishing this Foundation this way “I believe that one of a nation’s most important resources is its young people, and the key that allows young people to create a better world and a brighter future is education. Now, more than ever, it is vitally important for Africa,” said Winfrey. “Investing in the higher education of individual African women is an investment in positive change.”

OPRAH’S ANGEL NETWORK (OAN)
Oprah’s Angel Network grants awards to organizations and operates projects in under-served communities that provide educational initiatives as well as assist people in fulfilling basic human needs and regaining dignity. Because Oprah Winfrey makes a donation to Oprah’s Angel Network equal to its management and general as well as fundraising expenses, 100% of your donation goes toward program costs. This is the program the public is encouraged to provide donations for. The Angel Network is heavily promoted on Winfrey’s show for fans to help raise money for worthy causes.

Oprah Winfrey Scholarships Operate this Way
If a college already has a scholarship program for people who exhibit a strong financial need, Oprah may donate monies to that particular scholarship program. It must be specifically used for that scholarship program Oprah Winfrey donated the monies for, and it can’t be used for another scholarship program at that school unless it’s authorized by Oprah herself. The Oprah Winfrey Foundations put strong emphasis for empowering ethnic minorities who lack the funds to go through college, and especially women in particular. Oprah’s Endowments seem to sponsor scholarships that directly make an effort to tackle these two groups. Ms. Winfrey’s private foundation was originally established in 1987 to support the education and empowerment of women, children and families in the United States and around the world. Ms. Winfrey’s charities have awarded hundreds of grants to organizations that carry out her world vision.

Example of an Oprah Winfrey Scholarship Program
The Oprah Winfrey Foundation awarded $2.5 million endowment to New York University’s Wagner School of Public Service for the creation of The Oprah Winfrey Scholars Program for African Women. The program will allow African women to pursue graduate studies in public policy and management at the Wagner School. It is the first known of its kind at an American University.

How to Apply for a Oprah Winfrey Scholarship
If you want to apply for an Oprah Winfrey Scholarship directly, you cannot do so. You must contact the various colleges and universities in which the Oprah Winfrey Foundation has donated scholarship contribution monies to, and apply to that particular school. You can then fill out an Oprah Winfrey Scholarship application there. The Oprah scholarship will be augmented along with another similar scholarship program at that school (college or university or trade school). The scholarship will have more giving power and be better able to accommodate more students in terms of scholarship numbers and the amount of the stipend awarded to each student. Ask the college/university financial aids office which you are contemplating going to, if they have been awarded any monies from the Oprah Winfrey Scholarship Foundation, or simply search online for any school which received monies from the Oprah Foundation. If they have, immediately apply. It will surely not be an unclaimed scholarship, simply because of its notoriety.

Don’t let this discourage you from applying for it though!

A college spring break is like wacky scholarships. You never know how bizzare they will be until you accept them and go. Then, when you participate on a college spring trip and the wacky college scholarship; they tend to broaden your educational horizons and make you a more interesting college student. The college spring break vacation tends to give you only good memories; while the wacky scholarship actually will pay some of your college cost and give you a higher education. Both are wacky; but only one will pay you to participate in a wacky college experience.

Any ideas on what you may be doing on spring break? 

How each student decides what their college spring break vacation will be is more a personal matter. While you may see a lot of shows showing college students jetting off for fun and parties on the beach, most actually prefer to do something else. Some can’t afford the cost of taking a trip let alone pay their tutition. I always went home to see my family. I could barely pay my way through college.

College spring break come near Eastertime. College is hard, especially the first year and living on your own the first few years is hard as well. By the time college spring break comes, most students welcome the idea of a spring break trip. After just completing testing for all their classes, some students tend to go nuts and enjoy the party life to blow off steam. While others have different ideas of what it means to relax. Those going off to the beach are a travel agents dream, but as a parent, you may not be able to pay for college spring break vacations.

Though I always went home to hang out with my family and friends during college spring break, I realize that some simply don’t want to do that. You don’t have to go to the beach to have a good time, especially if that is not something you would normally do anyway. You could go almost anywhere. Some of my friends would organize road trips and just travel in a general direction for college spring break. They would stop where they thought something looked interesting, and stayed wherever they ended up at the end of the day. For me, I would rather do that then go to the beach any day.

When I started to get serious about my studies I would skip college spring break fun all together and do more studying. You can do this, but it may not be such a good idea. Your brains need a chance to recharge. You may actually get more out of your studies if you take some time away from them, even if it’s only a few days of your college spring break.  You can burn out slowly without realizing it in college with all the testing.

My Sring Break Vacation Suggestion
Recharge your batteries from your unusual wacky scholarship and take a not so wacky college spring break and do nothing. Take it slow and easy. You’ll thank yourself.

Did you know that Target stores has a Target scholarship to help pay for your high college tutition? It should not be one of those unclaimed scholarships either. A very good reason is if you shopped there over the years, you most likely contributed to this target scholarship fund many times over. Especially if you visited Target on a regular basis like I do. It’s a great store with great prices! Nevertheless, you may want to apply for target scholarships because they are nice and generous on the amount of the award they offer.

The increased technology evident in today’s society means that young persons seeking jobs must be adequately prepared to enter the workforce after high school graduation. This means that many more graduates will decide to compete for college degrees or educational certificates. This competition allows colleges to increase tuition each year, and require students to find additional monies to assist them to pay for educational expenses.

Many websites offer free scholarship searches to students. Target scholarship affiliates, for example, offer several helpful awards to young students. One of the more unusual scholarship funding efforts underwritten partly by Target is the CFDA/Teen Vogue Scholarship. This scholarship offers awards to high school graduates who demonstrate exceptional talent in fashion design and seek to pursue a four-year degree in that field. The top winner is awarded $25,000 and is designated as the year’s Target Fashion Scholar. Five additional Target scholarships of $5,000 each are awarded each year.

Target has dedicated $250,000 annually to the maintenance of this program. Furthermore, each winner receives a sewing machine and several books about fashion design. The top winner will be provided with several opportunities to visit Target’s design headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

If you are an individual with excellent fashion sense and are considering pursuing a career in clothing design, consider taking advantage of this unique and incredible target scholarship opportunity!

Another scholarship opportunity provided by Target is a new United Negro College Fund, or UNCF scholarship. This award, designated as the Target/UNCF Community Leaders Scholarship Program, offers $5,000 each to eight UNCF college juniors who demonstrate additional financial needs. These students must have proven themselves committed to improvement in their home communities. Apply for Target scholarships by using their free scholarship applications; available online for students who attend UNCF member universities and have maintained a 3.0 grade point average (GPA). Award winners will be designated as Target Community Leaders.

Recently, Target was also responsible for endowing another minority scholarship fund. The Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF) received enough monies from Target Corporation to offer 50 additional HSF scholarships. This minority scholarship provider requires students to maintain a 3.0 GPA, to be a legal citizen or permanent resident of the United States, and to have a Hispanic ethnic heritage.

In addition to these requirements, HSF Scholarship students must attend an Associate’s or Bachelor’s Degree program at an accredited college in the 50 states, Puerto Rico, Guam, or the Virgin Islands. Students pursuing their first undergraduate degree in most public relations or business-related fields may apply. Graduate students who apply must be studying business administration or management. Some awards are also available for pharmacy scholarships. The amount of each Target scholarship varies, but awards range from $1,000 to $5,000.
