Please note that this is my entire list of scholarships (over 180 pages so save it but don’t print it). Pages 2-5 list reoccurring scholarships that you can enter monthly or quarterly. They are mostly drawings rather than merit based and therefore harder to win. Starting on page 6, the scholarships are listed in order of deadlines (August – August). You will need to scroll down to the current month to access the available scholarships, but you can also look ahead for what is coming in the next few months or see what scholarships you missed but might be able to apply next year. Please note that most scholarships that are due in the fall are national scholarships and very competitive. February, March and April are when most LOCAL scholarships are due and have less competition. Organization is key when applying for scholarships. Here is how to read my list: Column 1Scholarship name with link to websiteSponsor’s nameDate added/updatedColumn 2 Deadline date (if highlighted in green it has been verified for this year) Always double check the deadline on the website because sometimes they make changes. Also, confirm whether it must be POSTMARKED (the day you take it to the Post Office) or RECEIVED by the deadline date.Column 3 Award amountColumn 4Eligibility requirements such as age, grade level, GPA… (if you don’t meet these, don’t apply)Column 5 Application requirements (what you have to do to apply)Remember that I recommend you create a professional sounding email that you use specifically for scholarships as applying to these type of scholarships result in lots of emails (some useful, some not so much).Now, start applying! If you have questions or want me to review your applications/essays, just let me know. I am here to help YOU!Respectfully,Karen DenneyCollege & Career Readiness CoordinatorMONTHLY/QUARTERLY DRAWINGSWhile these are easy to apply for they are hard to win and usually they just want your contact information to email you stuff.Scholarship NameDeadlineAmountEligibilityApplication Requirements$500 “Go Ennounce Yourself” Scholarship by SallieMae Added 6/20/15Monthly drawing$500Please note that this is a private student loan company and is a sweepstakes drawing High school students 9-12 or college freshmen, sophomores and juniors.See website for details.Create a free online GoEnnounce profile.

World population, now over 7.3 billion, is predicted to rise to 9 billion by 2050, an increase of almost two billion, or 23%, in the short space of only 34 years from now. In the highly unlikely event that per capita greenhouse gas emissions could possibly be decreased by an equal percentage in such a short space of time (a blink of an eye) the total amount of worldwide emission would remain the same! From this simple illustration it would appear that without drastically reducing the size of world population, there is no solution to the problem. None at all. So then why do our world leaders pretend that there is one? What is to be gained by pretending rather than by proposing a solution that would solve the problem – a reduction in the size of world population to not more than 1- 2 billion?Application FormSrRonald D.
