Harvard University Announcement
No tuition and no
student loans
Harvard University
announced over the weekend that from now on undergraduate students
from low-income families will pay no tuition. In making the
announcement, Harvard's president Lawrence H. Summers said, "When only
ten percent of the students in elite higher education come from
families in the lower half of the income distribution, we are not
doing enough. We are not doing enough in bringing elite higher
education to the lower half of the income distribution."
If you know of a family
earning less than $60,000 a year with an honor student graduating from
high school soon, Harvard University wants to pay the tuition. The
prestigious university recently announced that from now on
undergraduate students from low-income families can go to Harvard for
free... no tuition and no student loans!
To find out more about
Harvard offering free tuition for families making less than $60,000 a

AARP FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 5TH ANNUAL WOMEN'S SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The AARP Foundation today
announced a call for entries to its fifth annual Women's Scholarship
Program. The website only application opens February 1, 2011. The
Scholarships will provide funds to women 40+ who are seeking new job skills,
training and educational opportunities to support themselves and their
families.
Research shows women are
disproportionately at risk of having insufficient funds in the second half
of their lives due to lower earning and different work patterns. The AARP
Foundation created the Women's Scholarship Program in August 2007 to help
older women overcome financial and employment barriers by allowing them to
participate in education and training opportunities they could otherwise not
afford. In 2010, 200 women from all across the country were awarded more
than $600,000 in educational scholarships ranging from $500-$5000.
Scholarship winners are annually chosen by an independent selection committee established by the AARP Foundation. They are chosen on the basis of financial need, personal circumstances and achievements, educational goals, and the likely impact of the scholarship on their lives and their families and communities. The scholarship program is made possible by the AARP Foundation with generous support from Wal-Mart Foundation, and AARP. AARP Foundation is AARP's affiliated charity. The Foundation is dedicated to serving vulnerable people 50+ by creating solutions that help them secure the essentials and achieve their best life. AARP Foundation focuses on hunger, housing, income and isolation as its key mission areas. The Foundation envisions: "a country free of poverty where no older person feels vulnerable." Foundation programs are funded by grants, tax-deductable contributions and AARP. For more information about AARP Foundation, please log on to www.aarp.org/foundation. |

Buick Achievers Scholarship Program
Dedicates $4.5 Million Annually to 1,100 Motivated Students
DETROIT ! Buick and the General Motors Foundation today announced the $4.5 million-a-year Buick Achievers Scholarship Program to recognize and reward 1,100 college-bound students nationwide who excel both in the classroom and in the community. What distinguishes the Buick Achievers scholarships is that they are renewable for four years, which could bring the total individual scholarship to as much as $100,000. The GM Foundation plans to start a new group of 100 students on renewable scholarships of up to $25,000 each year. Buick Achievers, designed to inspire, celebrate, and enable human achievement, also will provide 1,000 students with $2,000 scholarships renewable for up to four years. Majors covered include science, technology, engineering, mathematics, design, marketing and business administration. All told, the foundation’s annual funding could reach $18 million annually after four years. As a company, and as a nation, we have a responsibility to support opportunities for higher education:; said Dan Akerson, GM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The Buick Achievers scholarship will help foster the next generation of leaders destined to develop future innovative solutions to global issues." According to the College Board, college tuitions rose at least 6 percent last year, making it increasingly difficult for students to pay for their education. The Buick Achievers Scholarship Program was developed to help address this need. "The Buick Achievers Scholarship Program is one of the premiere scholarship programs in the country," said Donald E. Lassere, senior vice president, Scholarship America, the nation's largest nonprofit, private sector scholarship and educational support organization. "The high dollar value and renewability of the awards will provide recipients with a tremendous benefit throughout their college careers." To be eligible for the Buick Achievers scholarship, applicants must be high school seniors or high school graduates entering college for the first time in the fall of 2011; plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited four-year college or university for the entire 2011-12 academic year; and demonstrate an interest in the automotive industry. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and have permanent residence in the United States. Other criteria include being a first-generation college student, female, minority, military veteran or a dependent of military personnel. Information and applications are available at www.buickachievers.com. Applications will be accepted through March 31, 2011, and scholarships will be awarded for the 2011-2012 academic year. The Buick Achievers Scholarship Program is the latest example of GM Foundation education initiatives to invest in the youth of America. The GM Foundation has provided more than $26 million in education related initiatives since 2005. About the GM Foundation: Since its inception in 1976, the GM Foundation has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to deserving American charities, educational organizations and to disaster relief efforts worldwide. The GM Foundation focuses on supporting Education, Health and Human Services, Environment and Energy and Community Development initiatives, mainly in the communities where GM operates. Funding of the GM Foundation comes solely from GM. The last contribution to the GM Foundation was made in 2001. About Buick: Buick is a modern luxury brand offering vehicles with sculpted designs, luxurious interiors with thoughtful personal technologies, along with responsive-yet-efficient performance. Buick is attracting new customers with its portfolio of award-winning models, including the Enclave crossover, LaCrosse sedan, Regal sport sedan and forthcoming all-new 2012 Buick Verano compact luxury sedan.

Subject: Scholarships for Students of Color!!
A
number of companies and organizations have set money aside for scholarships
to minority students, but a great deal of that money is being returned
because of a lack of interest or awareness. Money shouldn't be returned to
donating companies because people are failing to apply for it because they
