Finding Best foundation Scholarship for you

How to find the best foundation scholarship?
Finding the best this type of scholarships isn’t easy, but it isn’t too hard too! 🙂
Develop Your Scholarship Strategy

Most student aid comes in the form of federal education loans and grants from colleges. However, scholarships — which don’t have to be paid back — get a huge amount of attention from students and their families. If you and your child decide to invest your time in a search for scholarships, it’s important to have an organized system to find, apply for, and win scholarship money. It’s also best to start early.
Start With a Personal Inventory

Most of the information your child is asked for on a scholarship search questionnaire is easy to come up with — year in school, citizenship, state of residence, religion, ethnic background, disability, military status, employer and membership organizations.

Beyond those questions, your child has to give some thought to academic, extracurricular and career plans. Your child should ask:

* Do I want to participate in a competition? If so, what are my talents and interests?
* What subject do I plan to major in?
* What career do I plan to pursue?
* Do I want to apply for all types of aid or only scholarships?

Answers to these questions help determine your child’s scholarship eligibility. Your child should take time brainstorming and try not to overlook anything — the more personal characteristics your child discovers, the bigger the pool of potential scholarships.
Research Local Scholarships First

Your child should begin with the high school counseling office. Counselors know about scholarships for students graduating from your child’s high school. They may also be aware of scholarships for residents of your town, county and state.

Your child’s next stop should be the college aid section of your public library. Most libraries have a number of books about financial aid, including scholarship guides such as our Scholarship Handbook. They also may have information on local scholarships.

Then it’s time to start looking at national scholarships such as those sponsored by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, Gates Millennium Scholars, Intel Science Talent Search, the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation and the Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship Program. You and your child can also learn more about the scholarship competitions we cosponsor in science, math and technology. Use your library, or check online.
Check Membership Organizations and Employers

Organizations of all types and sizes sponsor scholarships — leave no stone unturned. You and your child should explore categories you might not have considered, such as religious, community service, fraternal, military, union and professional.

And don’t forget your employer. Many large companies offer scholarships or tuition programs for children of employees. Check with your human resources department to see if your company offers such programs.

If your child works, don’t overlook student jobs. Employers such as fast food chains, department stores and supermarkets often give scholarships. Awards related to student employment can come from unexpected sources. For example, there are a number of scholarships for golf caddies.
Use a Free Scholarship Search Service

A scholarship search company collects information on hundreds of awards and compares your child’s student characteristics with scholarship restrictions. Based on answers to a questionnaire, your child receives a list of possible scholarships. It is up to your child to decide which ones to try for.

You should never have to pay for scholarship information. If you’re asked to pay a fee for “exclusive” scholarship leads, there’s a good chance that scholarship service is really a scholarship scam.

Here are some free scholarship search services:
Scholarship Search
FastWeb
Sallie Mae
Contact Your State Department of Higher Education

Almost every state has a scholarship program for residents — the awards are usually limited to students who attend college in-state. For example, the State of Florida offers Bright Futures Scholarships to qualified Floridians who decide to attend in-state colleges and universities. One of New York State’s programs, the Tuition Assistance Program, offers grants to qualified New Yorkers who attend in-state colleges and universities.
Research Institutional Scholarships

Since the vast majority of all scholarship money is disbursed by colleges, it makes sense to research what kinds of scholarships are available at the colleges that interest your child. Check out college websites, catalogs and financial aid offices for this information. Institutional awards can be offered on a university-wide basis, or within a particular college or major. Eligibility for such awards can be based on merit, financial need, intended major, ethnicity or a variety of other factors. Here are some questions your child might want to ask about these awards:

* Are scholarships awarded automatically if a student matches certain criteria, such as grade point average (GPA) or SAT® score?
* What is the application procedure? What materials are required?
* Is the award renewable? What are the requirements to maintain the award?

Scholarship Application Tips

Once you and your child have created a list of scholarship possibilities, read about how to apply for a scholarship for advice on creating a winning application.

EPSRC/AHRC FUNDED Digital Media PhD Research Studentship Personal Narratives and Computational Provenance, London

Job Description: This studentship will form part of the interdisciplinary EPSRC/AHRC funded PATINA collaborative research project. PATINA aims to provide researchers of all kinds, including academics, creative practitioners and citizen researchers, with new opportunities to create research spaces that integrate physical, digital and personal space and support the sharing of research activities as well as results. The consortium will build wearable prototypes that can enhance research objects by projecting related information back into their research space. The PhD research will investigate the relationship between the researcher’s ‘research journey’, its capture in the archive and how it is replayed and shared with others.

Further Details
Background and Context
The University of Greenwich is offering a fully funded PhD studentship, based at the University`s Institute of Converging Arts and Sciences (ICAS), to explore the relationship between computational (data) provenance and personal narrative as archival forms. This is an exciting opportunity for interdisciplinary research, forming part of the multidisciplinary project PATINA (Personal Architectonics of Interfaces to Artefacts), which is a collaboration between six universities, (Greenwich, Bristol, Brighton, Newcastle, Southampton and Swansea) and involves researchers from the humanities, the arts and computer science.

Funded by the EPSRC and the AHRC through the RCUK Digital Economy programme, this £1.7 m project will provide researchers of all kinds, including academics, creative practitioners and citizen researchers, with new opportunities to create research spaces that emphasise the primacy of research material, and support the sharing of research activities as well as results. The consortium will build wearable prototypes that can enhance research objects by projecting related information back into their research space. These technologies will also provide the means to capture, record, and replay the researcher`s activities to support intuitive archiving, sharing and publication of interactions with research objects. The design of the technologies will draw on theoretical frameworks of space developed from studies of research spaces as diverse as libraries, museums, homes and archaeological fieldwork sites.

Role Description
The PhD Studentship field of study will be situated within the established body of research that explores the relationship between history and archive, and within the study of categorisation systems through which it is possible to articulate knowledge and being. The project will focus on the researcher’s interaction with the research object and with the archive that is created of his or her activities. It will examine the relationship between the researcher’s ‘research journey’, its capture in the archive and how it is replayed and shared with others. It will explore and establish links between the researcher’s personal narrative and the field of computational provenance, which seeks to model ways of recording and representing the history and therefore the authority and viability of data and information generated within computer systems.
