The Deadline Has Passed--What Do I Do?
When I am researching scholarships and internships on the Internet, I come across several where the deadline has passed.
Here are a few I have come across:
1. http://bit.ly/OLVUd
Rotary World Peace Fellows
2. http://www.talbotsinc.com/brands/talbots/charitable.asp
Talbots Women’s Scholarship Fund
Associate Scholarship Fund(For Children of Talbots, Inc. Associates)
Most of the time, these fellowships and/or scholarships will post information later in the year for programs in 2010, but the information may be posted in fall 2009.
For example, the Talbots Women's Scholarship Fund offers scholarships to women looking to pursue a college education later in life. In 2009, six women each received a $10,000 scholarship and 60 women each received a $1,000 scholarship.
More information from the website: "The Talbots Women’s Scholarship Fund is open to U.S. and Canadian residents. All applicants must be seeking an undergraduate degree from an accredited two- or four-year college or university or vocational-technical school. Scholarship awards are based primarily on financial need and previous achievements for women who earned their high school diploma or GED at least 10 years ago."
While the deadline was January 2, 2009, information should be posted this fall.
Make a note somewhere (in a calendar) to check back. Include this link in your favorites. Or use a web program like Evernote found at http://www.evernote.com/ to save the information (I'm experimenting with this one currently).
