Scholarships Large And Small Available For Dedicated Applicants ...

The Journal News in Dayton, oh., referred to them as members of the "$100,000 Scholarship Club." in may, 25 high school seniors in the mid-western community of Badin were recognized for receiving $100,000 and more in scholarships. The students, many of whom plot to study engineering disciplines, aren't alone.

Shayla Price of Thibodaux, La., and Matthew Lee of Pacolete, S.C., searched and applied for scholarships for college online and also finished up with $100,000 and more. where Price received scholarships in increments of $100 to $40,000, high school senior Matthew Lee was one of 10 finalists in a Proton Energy Scholarship competition to walk away in may with a single $100,000 scholarship. The scholarship is supported and paid for by Lumber Liquidators founder Tom Sullivan, who owns the global Proton hydrogen energy company, and it recognizes students for their achievements and promise in science and technology. Additional scholarship programs that pay high dividends include:

Siemens Competition in Math, Science and Technology: High school students participate individually and in teams in this research project competition for a chance at winning up to $100,000 scholarships. The Siemens Foundation each year proffers more than $7 million to support engineering, technology, science and math education initiatives. It's administered by the College Board, with regional winners moving on to finals at the national level.

Distinguished Young Women (formerly America's Junior Miss): If there's any doubt that pageants are scholarship competitions, Distinguished Young Women makes the point apparent. The competition provides cash scholarships, as well as college-granted scholarships from near 200 colleges and universities. in June 2010, Madison Leonard of Idaho, who plans to pursue journalism studies, claimed the first Distinguished Young Woman of America title and $40,000 in scholarship money. Winning a preliminary talent competition, the reigning Distinguished Young Woman also received an additional $41,000 in cash and scholarships, while her state and community programs provided her $9,100. Whole 2010 cash and scholarship winnings: $90,100.

Jack Kent Cook Foundation: Eligible students with financial needs as early as the 8th grade and on into graduate school can receive some form of learning support from this private non-profit foundation. Undergraduates, including transfer students at two-year institutions, earn up to $30,000 a year for three to four years, while graduate students were awarded up to $50,000. Philanthropist Jack Kent Cook established the foundation posthumously in 2000. He had himself turned down an athletic scholarship from a Canadian institution because he helped support his family during the Fantastic Depression and completed only four of five required high school years. He ultimately went on to own a media empire of radio stations and newspapers, as well as New York City's Chrysler building and sports teams such as the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Ronald McDonald House Charities: Scholarships from the golden arched restaurant chain are nothing to clown around about. As part of its Hispanic American Commitment to Education Resources Scholarship Program, Ronald McDonald House Charities in 2008 went nationwide, awarding four high school students throughout the country $25,000 a year for four years of college, university and technical school studies. Scholarship recipients hailed from New York, New Jersey, California and Florida and plotted to major in chemical engineering, biochemistry, neurobiology and economics and math. they were selected based on academic achievement, financial need and community service. Ronald McDonald House Charities also offers programs for high school seniors in general and for students of Asian-Pacific and African-American heritage. Through these programs, participating community chapters in areas where applicants reside provide $1,000 minimum scholarships.

The Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation: Through this centralized memorial to the late U.S. President, full-time students in four-year colleges can receive $30,000 toward graduate or professional school studies that can lead careers in government and additional areas of public service. Truman scholars, who must be nominated by a faculty representative at the institution where they're studying, are also provided opportunities to participate in leadership development activities and gain centralized government internships and employment. Past scholarship recipients have majored in a variety of subjects, from economics and engineering to environmental science.
